HUKA FALLS GEOTHERMAL LOOP
This 17km loop has an incredible variety of scenery including the famous Huka Falls, views of New Zealand's first geothermal power station.
The loop starts at FourB's base and continues along the Waikato river bringing you out to the Aratiatia dam where you can see the opening of the control gates (tourist spill). After seeing the incredible Aratiatia rapids at full flow, where The Hobbit was filmed, your ride returns via the breath-taking geothermal streams to our store.
