Huka Falls
About Huka Falls
A popular tourist attraction near Taupo, New Zealand, The Huka Falls are a set of waterfalls on the Waikato River that drains from Lake Taupo. A few hundred metres upstream from the Huka Falls, the Waikato River narrows from roughly 100 metres across into a narrow canyon only 15 metres across. The volume of water flowing through often approaches 220,000 litres per second. At the top of the falls is a set of small waterfalls dropping over about 8 metres. The most impressive, final stage of the falls is an 11 metre drop. The drop is technically six metres (cliff beneath the water) but the water flow raises the level to 11m.
