Huka Falls, a famous waterfall on New Zealand's North Island

If you're visiting the North Island, Huka Falls is a must-see. The most common sight here is the powerful blue water flowing through the waterways, often used by people to swim. However, the falls are actually just a short walk away. This falls is part of the Waikato River. While it may not look high, the sheer force of the massive blue water pouring down them is truly magnificent. Besides admiring the beauty and grandeur of the falls, you can also try a walking tour. For those who enjoy the thrill of a closer look, there's also a jet boat ride. After taking photos from the crowded side, don't forget to admire the beauty of the falls from the other side. The view from here is even more expansive and less crowded. There's plenty of parking available, and it's not far from Taopo. Anyone traveling this route should definitely stop here.

[New Zealand] North Island Tour Huka Falls

Huka Falls

I went to New Zealand's North Island. Cathedral Cove in Coromandel was amazing with its beautiful scenery. (The first photo shows a 30-minute hike to the coast, but the nature is so beautiful it cleanses the soul and the air is so fresh that the time flies! New Zealand's traffic rules are roughly the same as Japan's, so it's easy to drive even if you rent a car. However, each location is far away, so it took about 2-3 hours to get from one place to the other. There are mountain roads on the way to Coromandel, so I recommend driving during daylight hours. The third and fourth photos show Waitomo Caves, where the caves are mysterious and there are tours available, so I recommend it. The fifth photo shows Huka Falls, a beautiful waterfall. Wherever you go, the nature is so beautiful and magnificent that it helped to soothe your worries and make you forget all about your worries.)
