The Huka Falls are one of the most popular (not to mention most visited) natural attractions in all of New Zealand and can be found inbetween Rotorua and Taupo on the North Island.

The aqua blue water flowing down the Waikato River narrows and is forced over the falls at the astonishing rate of roughly 220,000 liters (58,000 gallons) per second.

Huka Falls is a stop on travel days between Rotorua and Taupo
