I saw the Huka Falls! It is very impressive because of so much water.

A short 10 minute walk to see the amazing power of the Huka Falls. The Falls are a mix of pale blue and white. You will hear the falls before you see them.

If it was not raining, I would have loved to have stayed longer to enjoy the falls! The power of the falls were incredible and the colour was crystal blue!

The Huka Falls were the main attraction of the walk. Most people who were walking with us went to see only the falls and came back the way they came first. We kept on with the track which was a nice walk but not as great as the falls.

Amazing to see the power of water rushing through. The water is aqua marine, I could stare at it all day.

200,000 litres per second - these are the Huka Falls. Highly recommended and easily accessible. The water is light blue and looks amazing! Nice spot!

It is free and wonderful. The Huka Falls is easily accessible and easy to see. The water looks amazing going down the long fall.

Falls were amazing. Walk was okay and when we got there, there was a busload of tourists arriving.

The falls are quite nice but the walk to the dam is not nice but to see how the dam opens is nice.

Great views of the falls as they make their way down to the lake. Quite a few viewpoints but it can get pretty busy.

Cool place to visit and have a look but not too much to do other than looking at the Falls.

Very nice hike along a beautiful river all the way to Huka Falls. The area around the Falls was very busy with tourists. Hike was easy.

I did the walk from the rapids to the falls. The way was partly nice, partly not so nice (next to the street). But the rapids and the falls were so breathtaking!

Fantastic blue water. It is really fast and shines bright. Perfect nature, but many tourists.

It is good because it is free. But the falls themselves are not as spectacular as one might expect.
