From Taupō’s Spa Thermal Park it’s 3.5km/ 50min walk to Huka Falls on Waikato River. En route is Otumuheke Stream—popular $0 geothermal bathing (📷1). The river becomes confined by a 15m-wide gorge, seen from the footbridge (📷2). Just downstream, the main fall channels ~200,000L/s over a 9m drop (📷3). Tour boats negotiate the aerated water (huka = foam in Māori) & undertow for a closer view (📷4).
