Enjoyed our morning walk at the spectacular Huka falls. We traversed both sides and had beautiful views of the falls and river.

Awesome walk hearing the falls roaring alongside the track. Water is vibrant blue. Track is flat and suitable for everyone.

So many beautiful bush walks near the falls and when you get to the falls, the sounds & sights take your breath away. Stunningly beautiful. Could stand and look at the falls for hours.

Great vantage points to see the rushing water. Plenty of parking and easy to find as well sign posted. Spectacular to say the least. Would be busy during summer but in April when we visited it was relatively quiet.

Great view and very easy walk from the car park.
Easy to see the falls in all their glory even though it was fairly busy when we were there.
We went the next day in the jetboat to the bottom of the falls which was fantastic.

Have been quite a few times - the falls are always spectacular - the paths and surrounds are nice and clean (a change from our last visit - but school holidays are over which is probably the reason). Good to see them again and they are definitely worth a look

What type of transport is available from Ariatia back to Huka Falls, and what can I expect to pay for the return trip?

The intercity bus stop is in the centre of Taupo town. An easy 5 minute walk to the information centre known as the i-site. From there you can get a ride on the Taupo Hot Bus to Huka Falls and other attractions in the area. Huka Falls is 5 minutes drive north of Taupo. Cost on the Hot Bus to Huka Falls return is $15.00. It is $5.00 for each extra attraction you add on.

Free up to now. Wise to keep up to date on net just in case.

Amazing Falls here. Easy walk up and down the length of the rapids. Sometimes you can also see speed boats full of visitors come almost up to the spray off the falls.
The Hub Cafe, sadly, has closed near here. Seems the landlord raised the rents too high for them to stay open.
That's a shame. Lots of great places to see though.

8am-6pm. I remember closing time as we were just very lucky to come not long before the gates are closed. Opening time- I guessed it- common sense I guess.
