Huka Falls
The Waikato River is the largest river in New Zealand. It flows out of Lake Taupo. And just outside the city, the entire river narrows to a 20-foot gorge... and becomes the raging, blue waters of Huka Falls.
We hiked about 3km (about 50 minutes) each way to get from a park in Taupo to the Falls. The falls were absolutely --here comes that word again-- spectacular. The photos and video just don't do it justice.
Jeff declared (2,837,491 times to and from the falls) that there will be no more hiking during this trip.
We'll see.
