Day 100 - Taupo

Tour Boat Trying to Approach the Falls

Where the Falls Start

Lake Taupo - Largest Lake in NZ

On the way back from our Tongariro Crossing trip, we decided to stop in Taupo to see the Waikato waterfall. Its famous mostly because of its colour and at the speed at which it flows. It it also the longest river in NZ stretching 425 km. It was pretty amazing seeing the tour boats get pushed around as they approached the base of the falls. They really come down with some force. We were all pretty tired so we didn't stay long, but it was worth it!
