there are some pretty nasty features on it and you deff don't want to swim.

Cause there are gates at the mouth of the river they can vary the flow depending on how much water is in Taupo, and how full the Waikato river is downstream (so to speak). I've seen measurements as low as 67 and 85 cumecs on these recorded attempts... The average flow rate is closer to 200 cumecs. Technically the timing of the drop in flow rate is a closely guarded secret. But if you know some guys... Full flow the 800m of white water will beat you up before you get to the actual falls. And cause there's no lateral expansion possible the river simply flows higher and faster. I've watched a professional white water rafting outfit scope Huka falls (Rotorua River Rats was printed on all their sweats) and on the day, they packed up and left. And credit to them. That thing called the "pencil sharpener" would be a recipe for a flip on a raft. Is it dangerous. Yes. But if the flow rate is average, it's lethal.

if you have to ask this way, it is dangerous.
