Looking over the impressive Huka Falls on the Waikato River, the Huka Falls Lookout is a great, inexpensive way to experience this impressive natural attraction. There are various walking trails in the region that lead to the lookout platform, the most popular of which is a short 10 minute journey from the Huka Falls carpark. Crossing the bridge and travelling 167 metres will take you to a number of various lookout points over the rushing river.
If you're looking for a longer walking trail, the Spa Park to Huka Falls trail stretches along 3 kilometres and takes around 1.5 hours to complete. The pleasant trail takes walkers along the Waikato River and continues further on to the Aratiatia Rapids after the falls if you're looking for an even longer journey. Bring your camera and a loud voice as the sights are breathtaking yet loud.
