New Zealand, Lake Taupo, Huka Falls, Orakei Korako Geothermal Park & Waitomo Glow-worm Caves.

New Zealand never ceases to amaze. In this video we start out from the South end of Lake Taupo, following Highway 41 to its junction with Highway 1 at Tūrangi. From here to Taupo the road is never far from the shores of the lake, a flooded caldera created by a super-volcanic eruption which occurred approximately 26,500 years ago. Lake Taupo is the largest freshwater lake in all of Australasia, draining into the Waikato River (New Zealand's longest river).
We visit Huka Falls, located a few kilometres north of Taupo, where the normally 100m wide Waikato River, is forced through a 20 metre wide gorge losing 20 metres in height from start to finish.
Orakei Korako Geothermal Park is located on the banks of the Waikato River, the park boasts the most active geysers of any geothermal park in New Zealand, up to 23 natural geysers can be active at one time, creating an ever changing landscape. The boiling hot springs and vibrant colours make this a place you’ll never forget, there are native bushwalks through this untouched paradise where the air is filled with sound of native birds.
Finally, no trip to Central North Island would be complete without a visit to Waitomo Glow-worm Caves where we watch our guide feeding monster eels at the entrance of one of the caves.
This video was filmed between 2006 and 2019 on a variety of cameras, some HD, others 4K.
