Itinerary

Day 1 · Leave Auckland

Huka Falls

2 hours

Huka Falls is one of New Zealand's most famous natural attractions, located near Taupō in the North Island. Here are some highlights and activities you can enjoy at Huka Falls:

1. The Falls Themselves

The falls are renowned for their incredible volume of water, with about 220,000 liters per second barreling through a narrow rock gorge.

The turquoise water and sheer power of the falls make for a mesmerizing spectacle.

2. Viewing Platforms

Several viewing platforms allow you to get close to the action. The main viewing point offers a breathtaking view of the falls from above.

For an alternative perspective, take the trails along the Waikato River to see the falls from different angles.

3. Huka Falls Walkway

A 1-hour (one way) walking trail from Spa Thermal Park in Taupō to Huka Falls offers stunning views of the Waikato River and its surroundings. It’s an easy walk suitable for most fitness levels.
