Driving around NZ with Junni1. A day before heading to Tongariro alpine crossing. Tftc!

Two Finns travelling around New Zealand and enjoying vanlife. Two weeks ago we arrived to Auckland and got ready for adventures. This morning our first stop was Huka falls. Thank you for introducing us this place!

Recently returned from my first trip to NZ. Traveled with Gate1 travel. Really enjoyed my time in your wonderful country. Still catching up on all my logs. Answers sent to CO. Photo is of my wooden geocoin with caching name near GZ. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in your Earthcache. If I did not participate satisfactorily please let me know and I will delete this log.

Many thanks for this enjoyable, entertaining and informative earthcache!This is why we go caching!

Another great EC from funkymunkyzone.Very familiar with Huka Falls, having brought visitors here many times. Have also walked from north of here back into Taupo. A nice, often shady, walk for those that have time.

What an incredible force of nature! After an initial struggle to locate an information board we did eventually succeed! TFTC!

#4258 Today is day 40 of my geocaching vacation in New Zealand. Today, I spent some time in Taupo before driving to Rotorua. Found it! funkymunkyzone, thank you for the cache! -crystaloops from Taipei, Taiwan on November 9, 2024 @ 13:54:23[GC3F65X] Huka Falls (Central Plateau) was a D2.0/T1.5 Other Earthcache at the time of finding.

Ooo, this was something on its own. What power water has. Thanks for showing!

Wow, this waterfall amazed. The sheer power of the water, the speed and fiercity of the stream, the color of the water, the ..., the ..., the .... And again you just stand and watch and wonder and don't do anything else. OK, I tried to remember whether Jules Verne let the children of Captain Grant also navigate this waterfall or not - probably not.Amazing place. Enormous thanks for inviting us here!

great falls. thanks -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --French version below-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --Short late log but more complete now that we are back home.Our vacation will take us to the other side of the world to the land of the Maoris. After many, many hours of flying, a passage through China on the way there and through the United States of America on the way back, we will finally arrive in Christchurch which will be the starting point of our journey.We will enjoy the beaches of the Pacific Ocean and we will go back towards the North Island via State Highway 1. To combine business with pleasure, we will take regular breaks and small detours according to the caches that seem the most accessible to us.With a little more than 3500 km in 20 days, we will have discovered many facets of this island which is soothing. We will have to come back because there are so many places that we have not done ??. In broad strokes, the path will go from Christchurch to the Kaikoura Peninsula then towards Picton for the crossing to Wellington.New island, new road, and by State Highway 2 we go towards Hastings and Napier. We will leave the seaside for several days to go to Tongariro and Taupo. We will continue north towards Rotorua and Hamilton (without forgetting a detour via Hobbiton ??) A detour to the Coromandel Peninsula and finally the almost north of the island with Whangarei and Waitangi to learn the history of this country.There will only be a few days left to spend towards Auckland and its suburbs before taking the plane back to the grayness of our European autumn.The majority of the boxes will be found, we have abandoned those where our English was lacking and where we could not understand the clue. Thanks to all the owners who brightened up our path, who took us to incredible places (that's also geocaching)In short, we had a great vacation, saw beautiful places that simply ask us to come back. We learned a lot about the history of this country and its traditions, it's a great motivation for our destinations.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --Petit log en retard mais un peu plus complet maintenant que nous sommes rentrs la maison.

Lovely location

Stage 3 of our trip is a few days on the North Island of New Zealand. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining caches for us to find. Day 1 Quick find at the Airport when arrived before we headed down to Pirongia to say with friends. Day 2 I spotted a multi in Hamilton which took us on a tour of street art. So we headed into town for a stroll around. After lunch, a walk was in order so we stopped at Lake Ngaroto and walked and geocached around. Day 3 we drove up to Coromandel stopping along the way to see the sights and of course geocache!Day 4 Up early to head eastwards and a leisurely drive back down the coast. Day 5 we headed down to Taupo for lunch and an afternoon of caching. Lovely place to visit. I was particularly interested in your description of how (due to the erosive power of the water) the falls will eventually recede back to beyond the footbridge. Thanks for bringing us to this spot.

We stopped in here on our way past. We spent a lot more time here than plan A as three young men arrived with their kayaks. We stayed and watched and videoed them. I would hate to be their mother as my heart was fair pumping watching them, and I didn't even know them. This is such a stunningly beautiful place, it really was no hardship staying longer in this area. The answers have been sent to the cache owner. Thanks for placing this cache and thanks for the smiley

Solved the clues, answers sent to CO. Interesting info to find out about Huka Falls.

Bit of running finding this today with Nanniekerr - normally running or biking through so nice to have a stroll

Out caching with TL. TFTC! Sending answers for teamlarcee and nildran.

Out with Nildran enjoying the sunshine TFTC

Thank you for the cache, what a stunning waterfall

Answers have been sent for both myself and irondale. We visited today and it was really impressive. It was also great to walk up and down the river to the two traditional caches on either side of the earth cache to get a real feel for the water that gathers to go through the falls. Thanks for bringing us here!TFTEC

Quick visit with the family for a break from driving.Figured a good place to stretch the legs and get the cache on the way

Heading from Rotorua to Napier via Taupo, I stopped off for a few select caches en route.This was my next stop & BlLbo was reluctant to see *another waterfall* but had to admit that this one was very impressive! It took a while to find the requisite information but I have already submitted my answers to the CO & added a couple of photos as further evidence of my visit. This becomes my 200th Earthcache, so gets a favourite point for the memorable milestone!Found at 12:10Cache #10428TFTC funkymunkyzone

Weve had a couple of nights in Turangi and a trip through Whakapapa to have a play in the snow and now its time to head home. After the clouds of yesterday, the sun was out in full effect today which made for a glorious stop for lunch in Taupo and a detour to Huka Falls. What a fantastic side trip. Not too busy today so we were able to do our research and find the info sought. Quite magnificent Thanks funkymunkyzone#5326Logged using Cachly.

Been here lots, but first time as a cacher! Thanks for the smiley

The missus (from Oz) agreed, and this time, we stopped over for 10 days on the North Island along with our granddaughter in tow for some site seeing and exploring.A most impressive amount of water going through here today. Absolutely stunning falls for quantity of water, and an excellent example of the power of water.First stop this morning after brekkie at GC5K6CM. I'm not here for all the geocaches in New Zealand, I'm here for some of the coolest and best earthcaches and virtuals because of where they take me and what I see.

Lovely day to visit these fallsThey are incredibleThough, i didn't find the informatomion boards to answer the questions... Enjoy and thanks for this cache !

Woop woop! Happy mothers day to all the cache hunters out there #MothersDay2024

It's been many years since we last visited Huka Falls so it was nice to be back and enjoying some autumn sunshine. Having recently moved to Taupo most of our time of late has been totally dominated with house renovations, so it was nice to be out and about and finding this Earthcache was a great bonus.

Falls very impressive. Kids enjoyed the challenge of this geocache, thanks

I have visited the Huka Falls many times as I grew up in Taupo and often visit my parents who still live there. I've made a start on this earthcache a couple of times on previous visits but not quite managed to record all the required information. Today we walked the Huka Track from Spa Park to the falls and back and I was determined to complete this earthcache this time. Answers have been emailed to the CO, thanks for the Earthcache!

My wife (Nosynel) sent in the answers and posted a photo.

I emailed the answers to the CO for JDScout and I. We did this earth cache with a muggle friend who now lives in. Taupo.JDScout and I are spending 15 days traveling up to the Coromandel from our home in Christchurch. We are taking our camper van and E bikes. Our journey up and back will include a few stops. The aim is to spend 10 days on the peninsula. Today is day 3.

Fascinating place, I couldn't believe the colour of the water. It was also fun to see how the speedboats are riding the waves of the falls.TFTC

Did this cache together with German_Panda who posted our picture. Really enjoyed this stunning place although it was a bit rainy that day.TFTC

TFTC at this beautiful location

Gorgeous spot!

A favourite walk enhanced by appreciating more about the forces that have shaped this tonga / treasure.My first cach. Thank you!

On secondment to Melbourne, Australia, combined with short holidays here and there. From day 49/74, I was accompanied by my dear son, geocacher Ruupertti, who travelled from Finland to visit me in Australia and to spend a holiday with me in New Zealand at the end of my secondment. Day 66/74, Wednesday, and also my birthday. Finally time for our holiday in the beautiful New Zealand, day 2/7! Today was a long day. We drove from Auckland to Wellington, and experienced some awesome things between, such as Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland, Huka Falls, World's coolest McDonalds and the oldest cache of New Zealand. It was just one day on the North Island and a lot of kilometers, but at least we managed to see some lovely places. We were in Wellington at midnight. A great day!Wow, we just LOVED Huka Falls! A favorite point from me, absolutely. I also liked the tasks as they were not too difficult - well, not for me, anyway. I mean, we strongly disagreed on the answer to question 3. Ruupertti tripled my estimation and felt that I totally underestimated the height. We decided to ask from a random person what his estimate was - and it was 0,5 meters from mine. So, we will stick to my estimate. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Vaasa, Finland! Logged with [GCDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gcdroid).

Very nice place, TFTC.

Thanks funkymunkyzone for the Earthcache!

We were here. Very nice. Thanks

This was another grand day on my week long solo adventure on the North Island from Atlanta in the U.S. I'm so glad I am more comfortable driving on the other side of the road now although sometimes I have to remind myself out loud where to go. LOL I am finally getting around to logging my finds. I really get twitchy when I'm so far behind!Many thanks to all the COs who hid caches, responded to my earthcache and virtual answers, and helped make another day of my trip truly memorable. I thought these falls were beautiful! There were lots of folks there enjoying them so I wasn't the only one. Answers have been sent to the CO. Thank you for the smiley and the fun!

Very impressive and gorgeous falls! We enjoyed so much . Thank you funkymunkyzone for this earthcache . Greetings from France .

On our fivth day in New Zealand we travel from Rotorua to Turangi.This nice cache lay on our way.TFTCHennesAt the end comes the poem of the day.New Zealand By James K. Baxter (for Monte Holcroft)These unshaped islands, on the sawyers bench,Wait for the chisel of the mind,Green canyons to the south, immense and passive,Penetrated rarely, seeded onlyBy the deer-cullers shot, or else in the northTribes of the shark and the octopus,Mangroves, black hair on a boxers hand.The founding fathers with their guns and bibles,Botanist, whaler, added bones and namesTo the land, to us a bridleAs if the id were a horse: the swampy townsLike dreamers that struggle to wake,Longing for the poets truthAnd the lovers pride. Something new and oldExplores its own pain, hearingThe rains choir on curtains of grey mossOr fingers of the Tasman pressingOn breasts of hardening sand, as actorsFind their own solitude in mirrors,As one who has buried his dead,Able at last to give with an open hand.

Answers sent. What a fantastic view. The noise and colors are such an experience. Thanks

Very impressive falls, thanks for guiding me. - T4TC!

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 70 - Taupo, Central Plateau, North Island, Nov Zland (autem asi 50 km)Rno v 7 ml bt zde v obci event. To bylo na m ale pli brzy, tak jsem napsala ownerce, e asi nevstanu. Mil Amerianka reagovala velmi rychle, e event posune, e m cel den volno. Domluvily jsme se na 9.30 a vyzvedla jsem ji v Meki, odlovily jsme si zde keku, proly se po promend u jezera a pak spolu strvily cel den na kekch v okol. Kousek jsme popojely kolem jezera k challengi, co jsem vera nenala, a po cest navtvily i velmi zajmav lokln hbitov s nkdy dost netradinmi maorskmi nhrobky. Odpoledne jsme zajely i ke krsnm vodopdm Huka Falls, kter nejsou pli vysok, ale jsou dlouh s velmi silnm proudem a ndhernou modrou barvou vody. Naly jsme i mstn nejstar keku po krtk prochzce kolem eky a dal keku v lese sekvojovc i sekvoj. Nikdy nevm, kter strom je kter, prost Redwood. Byl to pkn den v mil spolenosti pan z Arizony z msteka Prescot, kde jsem kdysi byla a moc se mi lbilo. Tak mm dvod se tam opt nkdy vydat.In the morning I visited an event and picked up the owner of the event and we spent together a sunny day hunting for geocaches and exploring the city and its surroundings. After a walk on the promenade, we drove a bit around the lake, found a few caches and saw the local cemetery at a nice church. We also found a challenge where I was unsuccessful yesterday. In the afternoon we went to see the beautiful Huka Falls and walked a bit to the oldest local cache. The event took a bit longer, but it was a nice day spent in the nice company with LKLopez. Thanks to all cache owners for their caches and greetings from the Czech republic. Wonderful place, send a FAV.

4-week family trip through NZ - Find #84!On our drive from Rotorua to Turangi, we took the scenic route in Taupo, and therefore came past this waterfall. Very impressive to watch from above !TFTEC!

Endelig har jeg og MrVon sr kommet oss ned til Australia og New Zealand, -en gammel drm er gtt i oppfyllelse. Team Eika og Ingsve har ogs reist i flge med oss p denne turen. Vi har reist p kryss og tvers i en mned, og mlet er ende opp i Adeleide og megaevent p skuddrsdagen. Vi har spesielt sett etter gamle cacher, for fylle jasmern, for et par stykker, og for oss to andre som har begynt tenke p gjennomgang to.De aller fleste dukket greit frem p plassene sine,noen ganger mtte vi lete litt, men var som regel heldige tilslutt. Noen DNFer ogs ble det ogs.????Vi har for det meste logget med fellesnicket N4 (ingsve,Von sr. TeamEika og Ellen Sch) men ogs egne nicknavn er brukt.En stor takk til alle dere COer for utlegg og vedlikehold av cachene deres. Uten deres arbeid, hadde vi aldri kunnet kost oss med denne hobbyen.Alltid hyggelig med et nytt smilefjes p kartet.????Cachehilsen fra Ellen Sch, Norge????????????Me and MrVon sr have come down to Australia and New Zealand, -an old dream has finally come to an end. Team Eika and Ingsve have also traveled with us on this trip.We have been traveling cross-country for a month, and the goal is to end up in Adeleide and mega-event on the leap year. We have especially looked for old caches, to fill jasmer'n, for a couple of pieces, and for the other two of us who have started to think about reviewing more.The vast majority of them showed up at their places, sometimes we had to search a bit, but we were usually lucky in the end. There were also some DNFs.????We have mostly logged in with the common nickname N4 (ingsve, Von sr. TeamEika and Ellen Sch), but our own nicknames are also used.A big thank you to all you CO's for laying out and maintaining your caches. Without their work, we would never have been able to make a living with this hobby.Always nice to have a new smiley face on the map.????Cache greetings from Ellen Sch, Norway????????????

As a once in a lifetime holiday, this year we are traveling for 7 weeks to Vietnam, Bali, Australia and New Zealand. In Australia we meet Ellen Sch and MrVon sr and Ingsve to visit these last two countries, so here we cache together. We signed the log with N4. Now we have solved many caches so we have a large number of solved coordinates. But we are interested in all types of caches, so if you receive a log, it means that we have visited your cache. We haven't quite decided where we're going, but we'll probably let the weather decide for us. We want warmth because in Norway it is now freezing. We will stay for about 2 weeks in Australia and 2 weeks in New Zealand and we will end the trip with the Mega event in Adeleide on 29 February. So thank you very much to all of you who make it possible for us to travel around finding caches. On March 6, we set course for Norway again. There are extremely nice people everywhere and we are welcomed, we thank you very much. Thanks to our cache friends for good company on the trip.Som en gang i livets ferie reiser vi i r 7 uker til Vietnam, Bali, Australia og New Zealand. I australia mter vi Ellen Sch og MrVon sr og Ingsve for beske disse to siste landene, s her cacher vi sammen. N har vi lst mange cacher s vi har et stort antall med lste koordinater. Men vi er jo inntressert i alle typer cacher s hvis du mottar en logg s betyr det at vi har beskt cachen din. Vi har ikke bestemt oss helt hvor vi reiser men vi lar nok vret bestemme for oss. Vi nsker oss varme for i Norge er det n kuldegrader. Vi blir ca 2 uker i Australia og 2 uker p New Zealand og vi avslutter turen med Megaeventet i Adeleide den 29 februar. S tusen takk til alle dere som gjr det mulig for oss reise rundt finne cacher. 6 mars setter vi kursen mot Norge igjen. Det er srdeles hyggelige mennesker overalt og vi nskes velkommen, vi takker s mye. Takk til vre cachevenner for godt selskap p turen

What a beautiful place. The color of the water was spectacular.Answers sent.

As youngest team member of team GO_Jack, I want to do some caches during my six-month trip to New Zealand and Japan.Today I visited the Huka Falls and it was particularly spectacular and impressive. Along the way I searched and found the questions for this earth cache. The answers have now been sent.A favorite of our team and greetings from The Netherlands.#3.565 - funkymunkyzone TFTC!

Visiting from the UK, travelling from Auckland to Te Anau in the South Island - over a period of 4 weeks. Arrived around 10am - not too many people around and parked on the Loop Road and walked down. Like the cacher before we didn't find any information boards on either side of the bridge and viewing points. I hope the info I found is sufficient for the CO. Photos also sent. An amazing place. Thanks for setting.

The falls are such an amazing piece of nature. We searched the Lookout point, the bridge, both car parks and GZ but couldn't find an information board. Sadly we had to use the Internet. Answers sent to CO. FP given. TFTC

Beautiful place! Very busy. TFTC

Stopped by a couple times. Second time to repair a bike. That's when we collected the info for the cache.

After a walk down the river trail from the falls meeting family biking from Aratiatia, we had a good look at the falls and rapids. And how did that ball get in the Crack near the water?!Tftc

**Log about this cache:**Waterfalls with a lot of power, so nice.We allready had to see some nice things and some nice walks today but this was also very nice!**General log:**After years of planning and the canceling of trip due to the corona crisis, the time had finally come:****"more than 5 weeks in New Zealand".**And how beautiful it was!Visited both the north and south islands, many tourist attractions have a cache nearby so I could do some as well.Lots of virtuals and earth caches too and traditionals. But also done a few multi caches here and there also even a mystery and wherigo cache.The trip to New Zealand was great and we saw a lot of nice places. The country has so many different types of landscapes. And the nice thing was that it is winter in the Netherlands but summer in New Zealand Too bad it takes so long to fly and that the flight is so expensive otherwise i can go here next year again.Now you can enjoy it, logging the caches is also part of it. I will try to email the answers for the earthcaches and virtual caches to the relevant co`s as soon as possible. But first log all caches and upload the photos .Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching
