Aratiatia Rapids to Huka Falls Track, Taupo :: Long White Gypsy
If you're looking for a scenic short walk in and around the central north island region, then the Aratiatia Rapids to Huka Falls Track is just right for you!
The track is 7km one-way, and takes around 2hrs to complete. It is a shared use track by pedestrians and mountain bikers.
Dogs are permitted on the track, but authorities advise they are to be kept on a leash.
The track is easy walking for all ages and levels, and very green. There is lots to see along the walk. Whether you start from the rapids end or the falls end, you won't be disappointed.
My suggestion is to start from the dam end, so you don't risk the dam opening. Make sure you arrive in plenty of time for the openings at 10am, 12 noon and 2pm every day (and from the start of October to the end of March, also at 4pm). Each release lasts for 15 minutes. It is impressive to see the volume of water flowing over the rapids as the dam opens - in fact, at one time the rapids were the largest in Australasia, with the Waikato River dropping 28 metres in just one kilometre.
Recently, the rapids have become famous as the film location for the barrel escape scene in THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG.
Once the dam closes, you can begin your hike from the track behind the carpark on the dam gates side of the road. Along the way, you'll be treated to impressive views of the Waikato River as it winds its way along the central north island plateau towards Lake Taupo. You'll even be treated to unique views of the Wairakei geothermal station and Huka Prawn Park. Your hike concludes with the crystal clear and impossibly blue waters of Huka Falls, world famous in New Zealand (and probably actually the world!), as it tumbles down the valley.
Definitely top on my list of must-do hikes in and around the Taupo region!

The Huka Falls River Cruise - A Spectacular Boat Ride | Taupo | New Zealand
In October 2016, I spent a few days in the Central North Island region of New Zealand.
On day 3, I went exploring around Taupo, Kinloch, Reid's Farm Recreation Reserve, the Huka Falls, Aratiatia Dam and the Kaimanawa Forest.
The river cruise to the Huka Falls was an excellent way to spend an afternoon. The boat takes you quite close to the falls, and although they're not high you can feel the tremendous force of the water as it comes crashing down and the resulting spray wafts past you.
I'd definitely recommend the boat ride. It's reasonably priced and suitable for all ages. Check their website here:
This is part four of a seven part travel vlog series featuring the Central North Island region.

As an avid travel fan I've done many trips overseas trips to explore the world, learn about history & culture, experience adventure and try exotic food. However recently, I've decided to put more effort into exploring my own beautiful country - New Zealand. People come from all over the world to see NZ and rave about how amazing it is. It is time for me to see the beauty that sits right on my doorstep.

#NewZealand Road Trip| Rotorua| Taupo| Huka falls| Auckland| Coromandel 2015
Driving around the Northern island of New Zealand during spring is probably one of the most exciting long drive I've done so far. The weather is good, you'll see green landscape filled with herd of sheep and cattle is simply breathtaking to watch as they eat, sleep and lay on the grass all day long. Our first schedule was the Hobbiton movie set tour followed by Rotorua's Skyline, hotspring and Geothermal Wonderland (Wai-O-Tapu). We went further down south in Taupo to see the Huka falls and try the Taupo Bungy and Speed Jet. I would say it's an awesome experience
