New Zealand 2005

Huka Falls

The same day we went to Taupo we went to Huka Falls New Zealand's most visited natural attraction. More than 220,000 litres of water tumble over the cliff face per second!   The Huka Falls are the largest falls on the Waikato River, near Taupo on New Zealand's North Island.  The Waikato river is one of New Zealand's longest rivers and it drains Lake Taupo - the largest freshwater lake in all of Australasia.

We went to Wairakei Tourist Park where there are some fantastic vantage points to see the falls. The water is so clear and an unbelievably beautiful turquoise blue color.
