Hukafalls Jet Boat Ride in Taupo
Duration: 30 minutes (approx.)
Departs from: Taupo, New Zealand
Product code: 3064TAO_HUKA
Explore the Waikato River, New Zealand's longest river, flowing north from New Zealand's largest lake, Lake Taupo.
This exciting jet boat ride is thirty minutes of pure fun and exhilaration, skimming close to cliffs with inches to spare, sliding past trees and feeling the adrenaline of full 360 degree spins.
The Waikato River is used to develop hydro power. See the force of the water coming over the Huka Falls. Geothermal power underground produces the hot steamy water. This river environment is beautiful, varied and unique.
The excitement continues right up to the base of the foaming Huka Falls, one of New Zealand's most visited natural attractions, for a spectacular water level view from your jet boat.
Nothing compares to watching 220,000 liters per second tumble over the cliff face toward you. Then feel the power of your twin V6 Supercharged Buick Motors, pumping out over 500hp as you speed through the beautiful deep green water and shallow grassy river edges as you return to Wairakei Park.
The time spent on the river is approximately 30 minutes. The total time of trip including transfers from Taupo is approximately 60 minutes.
