Rangatira Park Travel Guide

Taupō

Huka Falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls we've ever seen. Every second up to 220,000 litres of water gushes through the gorge.

If you are somewhere around Lake Taupo and you are looking for a camp, come here at the Reids Farm. Waking up just one step from the river is really nice way to start a day.
