Short canyon section with some nice narrows and one good drop. Otherwise a pleasant stream walk.

his trip has it all. A staunch multi-sport approach. Back-to-back high waterfalls in Wainotinoti. And finally, the jewel in the crown – jumps and whitewater problem solving in the slotted Big Wainihinihi.

A long adventure to a stream with some canyon features which are small and well-spaced. Probably more of a half star canyon, maybe worth doing if you’ve done everything else in the area and you’re after a long-off track waterfall tramp.
Yards Gully v4a2IV**
Private land: permission required.
No further info available, other than it was surprisingly good, with some narrow steep and deep sections.

Waterfall tramping, appears to be a few drops and a short gorge, but quite a way from the road. Download the research info sheet Little Jordan Stream
