Shine Falls is a 58-metre waterfall in Hawke's Bay, reached from Heays Access Road through the Boundary Stream area north of Napier. The walking route crosses farmland and passes beneath limestone bluffs before entering native forest near the falls. The cascade drops over a broad rock face into a pool, creating one of the region's best-known inland nature excursions.
A visit to Shine Falls requires suitable footwear, water and preparation for changing rural track conditions. Access has been affected by severe weather in the region, so travellers should consult the Department of Conservation for the latest track status before setting out. Visitors must also respect farm access, gates and wildlife, and should allow enough daylight for the return walk rather than treating the site as a roadside stop.
