Huka Falls Jet

Huka Falls Jet takes guests on a high-speed jet boat ride up the spectacular Waikato River to the base of Huka Falls — New Zealand's most powerful waterfall, where 220,000 litres of water thunder through a narrow gorge every second. Reaching speeds of 80kmph through native bush and sheer volcanic cliffs, the ride delivers 360° spins and close passes to the canyon walls before arriving at the dramatic base of the falls. The experience runs approximately 30 minutes and departs from the Huka Prawn Park, 8 minutes north of Taupō. No experience required — suitable for all ages.

Inclusive statement

The Huka Falls Jet crew are experienced at welcoming guests of all abilities and will go out of their way to assist from the moment you arrive. The riverside setting and helpful team make this one of the most accessible jet boat experiences in New Zealand.

Good to know

The jet boat is accessible via a riverside ramp — crew will assist you to your seat. On booking, advise the team of your disability and weight. If you need full assistance and are unable to assist with your own transfer, a maximum weight of 85kg applies. It is recommended guests have hand and arm function to hold on during the ride; if not, travelling with a support companion is recommended. Contact the operator directly on booking with your ability details. We have yet to develop an Access Guide — please contact us directly.
