The Greenlea Rescue Helicopter was dispatched on Monday 23 October, around midday to Huka Falls, where a female kayaker had fallen from her kayak and become stuck, approximately 60 metres above the falls.
The Greenlea Rescue Helicopter, equipped with a water rescue basket, lowered a Apline Rescue team member to the kayaker, via a long line.
The woman was then extracted from her location where she had become stuck and airlifted to safety. Fortunately, the woman did not suffer any injuries during her ordeal.
