Walk from central Taupo to Huka Falls along the Waikato River, dip in a free thermal creek at Otumuheke Stream, and see the falls from several lookouts.
Exact dam release times for every season, which of the three lookouts is best for photos, where to park, and how early to arrive. I’ve walked it myself.
2.80 km • 1 Hour 15 Minutes to the top • Medium • The hike to the top of Mt Tauhara Summit is worth every step as you take in the breathtaking scenery that stretches from Lake Taupo all way down into central NZ.
Walk or bike the Kawakawa Bay Track from Kinlock up and over the hill down into Kawakawa Bay, 20 km drive from Taupo. Also part of the Great Lake Trail.
