Discover the beauty and power of one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most-visited natural attractions. The Waikato River, New Zealand’s longest river, narrows dramatically at Huka Falls, generating enough power to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool in just 11 seconds. The effect is mesmerising but loud. You’ll hear Huka Falls before you see them. Complement your visit with an adrenaline-pumping jet-boat tour(opens in new window) to the base of the falls, where you’ll get close enough to feel the spray on your face. Or explore the area on the Spa Thermal Park to Huka Falls Walk(opens in new window), starting at the gentle thermal waters of Otumuheke Stream and leading to the thundering Huka Falls.
