The Mighty Huka Falls

Waterfall in Taupō
100% Recommended
Huka Falls is a perfect example of the beauty and force of nature - where the Waikato River forces itself through a volcanic ravine and spills over 220,000 litres of water per second over the 11-metre high waterfall. Easily accessible from the car park, the falls form part of a wider park and trail, with great options for everyone - even dogs!
