The Aratiatia Rapids are an area of New Zealand river rapids downstream from the dam for the Aratiatia Power Station on the Waikato River. The rapids are extremely dangerous. Before construction of the dam and hydro station, the Aratiatia Rapids were a prominent feature on the Waikato River, and became a scenic reserve in 1906. The dam construction meant that no water flowed over the rapids. However, several times a day, the Aratiatia dam gates are opened, which restores the rapids to their normal operation.

  • Die Aratiatia Rapids sind Stromschnellen des Waikato River im Gebiet der Ortschaft im Taupo District der Region Waikato auf der Nordinsel Neuseelands. Sie liegen wenige Kilometer stromabwärts der Huka Falls und zählen gemeinsam mit diesem zu den meistbesuchten Wasserfällen des Landes. Die sie durchströmenden Wassermassen werden durch ein Wehr des Kraftwerks Aratiatia kontrolliert. In den Sommermonaten erfolgt die Öffnung des Wehrs alle zwei Stunden zwischen 10:00 und 16:00 Uhr.

  • The Aratiatia Rapids are an area of New Zealand river rapids downstream from the dam for the Aratiatia Power Station on the Waikato River. The rapids are extremely dangerous. Before construction of the dam and hydro station, the Aratiatia Rapids were a prominent feature on the Waikato River, and became a scenic reserve in 1906. The dam construction meant that no water flowed over the rapids. However, several times a day, the Aratiatia dam gates are opened, which restores the rapids to their normal operation. There are three lookout points to watch the Dam release into the rapids, watching the release is a popular tourist attraction. In Māori, aratiatia means "stairway" or "ladder", possibly referring to the zigzag shape of the rapids, or possibly referring to the path (ara) of Tia, an explorer who travelled up the rapids against the current.

Vom New Zealand State Highway 5 zweigt nördlich von Taupo die Aratiatia Road nach Osten ab und leitet auf einen Besucherparkplatz. Von hier aus führt ein Wanderweg in fünf Gehminuten zu einem Aussichtspunkt auf die Stromschnellen. (de)
