Recently, the New River Academy visited New Zealand’s Hukah Falls. Hukah Falls is a gigantic waterfall on the Waikato River. Before it was damned, the Waikato used to be the  biggest river in Austral Asia. Hukah falls is around 25 feet tall with clear turquoise water and massive volume all flowing out of a very narrow canyon gorge. It has been a sacred place to the Maori people for a long time. When I first saw it I was amazed at how gorgeous it was. The water was amazingly blue and clear and looked so refreshing. The water was too high to run in a kayak that day but it was still fun to try and pick out which line you would take if you were to run it. The place was probably one of the most beautiful places I have been to and it is just an example of the beauties of New Zealand and the Earth.
