Huka Falls, Taupo (Day 2)


About 5 mins (3 km) away before arriving Taupo (coming from Rotorua) is Huka Falls. "The Waikato River, New Zealand's longest river, moves gracefully north from Lake Taupo between banks 100 metres apart. Just before the Huka Falls it enters a shallow ravine of hard volcanic rock. The effect is nature's large-scale equivalent of a fire hose feeding into a very fine nozzle." (From 100% NZ)
