Starting from the Huka Falls parking area, make your way across the bridge spanning the cascading Huka Falls, and then make a left turn. Along this conveniently accessible pathway, you'll find multiple lookout points that provide excellent vantage points for taking in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Huka Falls.

The mesmerizing volume of water plunging over the falls is a result of the Waikato River being funneled through a narrow channel, measuring just 15 meters in width and 10 meters in depth. At the northern end of this channel, the river surges forth, forming the magnificent Huka Falls.
