Huka Falls
Huka Falls, located near Taupo in New Zealand, is a stunning natural attraction where the Waikato River narrows dramatically, causing a powerful and impressive surge of water. The falls themselves drop 11 meters, with over 220,000 litres of water thundering through per second, creating a breathtaking spectacle. The water's striking turquoise blue colour, caused by air bubbles mixed with the clear river water, adds to the falls' visual appeal. Several viewing platforms around the falls provide different perspectives, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the natural beauty and power of this remarkable site.
Hobbiton
A charming tourist attraction located in Matamata, New Zealand, famous for its picturesque hobbit holes nestled into the lush countryside. Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" novels, it offers visitors a whimsical journey into the magical world of Middle-earth.
