Lake Taupo drains its mighty waters into the Waikato river, this is New Zealand’s longest river and we are looking forward to riding on it in the high powered jet boats, so clambering into the van that took a number of us around the town we headed out to our next appointment.
The Hukfalls jet boat is a high speed flat water experience. Out pilot was skilful (thankfully) as we speed up the river towards the mighty Huka Falls, we ducked under low trees, and slid around impossibly tight corners, with intermittent 360 degrees turns thrown in, ensuring we all got a little wet. This is a huge amount of fun, and suitable for the whole family. www.hukafallsjet.com
At the base of the falls we were told how much water plunges through the narrow gorge, and it is hard to believe but it is a popular place for kayakers to ride down.
Back at the shore were ushered back into the van for our next stop.
