I went to New Zealand's North Island.
This time, I rented a car, so I was able to explore some hard-to-reach spots.
Huka Falls, known as one of the world's most powerful waterfalls.
Huka Falls is located where the Waikato River narrows from approximately 100 meters to 15 meters. It's a spectacular waterfall where 220 cubic meters of water cascades down per second. The volume of water is enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool in 11 seconds, and the sound of the waterfall can be heard from miles away.
There's an 8-meter mini-cascade at the top of the falls, but the most impressive is the main waterfall, which drops 6 meters. This waterfall is characterized by its crystal-clear turquoise water and bubbling bubbles, captivating visitors.
