Introduction

Huka Falls sits on the Waikato River near Taupō; the broad river suddenly narrows through a gorge and plunges into a deep pool, flinging up crystal spray. Among New Zealand's most voluminous falls, its blue-green torrent and roar are the most stirring natural note of this geothermal land. A footbridge above and a jetboat jetty below let you watch and ride the water.
