Huka Falls
Huka Falls is probably the most visited natural tourist attraction in New Zealand. What it lacks in height (11m), it makes up for with sheer power and gorgeous colors. The easy wheelchair-accessible paths and short walk make this place a magnet for tour buses and car hire tourists alike. The powder blue color of the water is probably due to the mineral rich Lake Taupo, which has plenty of volcanic soil and minerals doing the dilution. Apparently, this same mineral rich property also makes for some world class trout fishing. See the photo below for an alternate view of the waterfall.
