Description
If you’re a water lover, and you think waterfalls are great (and who doesn’t?), then the H2Ohh Combo is for you! The amazing Huka Falls – which is the most visited and photographed natural feature in all of New Zealand – is the highlight of the day, and there is more churning, cascading white water than you can poke a stick at on this adventure!
The adventure begins with a dash to the base of Huka Falls in a twin engine V6 jet boat. Reaching speeds of up to 80km/hr, the jet boat driver will expertly perform 360 degree turns, sweeping bends and close calls with river obstacles along the way, which will leave you white knuckled and full of adrenaline. Once you reach the amazing Huka Falls, you will have the chance to play in its tail and sit in awe of its amazing power. Huka’s huge 11 metre drop can have a flow of up to 220,000 litres per second – that’s enough to fill two Olympic sized swimming pools… PER SECOND!!! No wonder the Māori’s named this phenomenal feature ‘Huka’, which is their word for ‘foam’.
After your half-hour Huka Falls jet boat experience, it's then time for your rafting experience. If you thought you’d seen enough bubbling white water at Huka Falls to last a lifetime, you were totally mistaken, but in a good way! The 60 low-grade rapids you will paddle over, along the Tongariro River, will leave you exhilarated and smiling. These rapids are exciting enough for thrill-seekers, but also mild enough to allow the amazing scenery and wildlife to be seen along the way.
Overall, this adventure combo is an exciting and interesting journey, full of ‘wow’ moments. You will leave with a smile on your face, wet socks, and a desire to return again and again. This beautiful part of New Zealand is truly spectacular and well worth the visit.
