Humboldt Falls
Humboldt Falls was one of the more dramatic waterfalls that we experienced in New Zealand. It was hard to believe that this waterfall seemed to be one of the better kept secrets in Fiordland…
Depot Creek Falls
Depot Creek Falls was a rather obscure and somewhat hidden cascade since it didn’t have any signs for it (unlike the other waterfalls we encountered in the Haast River Valley and Haast Pass vicinity..
Roaring Billy Falls
Roaring Billy Falls was a fragmented waterfall that Julie and I didn’t expect to visit during our November 2004 trip to New Zealand as we hadn’t run across any literature about it prior to that trip..
Fantail Falls
Fantail Falls was the second of two pretty well-known waterfalls we encountered in the vicinity of Haast Pass as we were motoring through Mt Aspiring National Park between Queenstown and Glacier…
Thunder Creek Falls
Thunder Creek Falls was one of the more well-known waterfalls in the Haast River Valley section of Mt Aspiring National Park. Julie and I sensed it was popular because both times we made a visit…

Carew Creek Falls
Carew Creek Falls (also referred to as just Carew Falls) was an early morning waterfall adventure for me as I left from the town of Greymouth. Typically, I’d imagine this could also be a detour…
Avalanche Creek Falls
Avalanche Creek Falls was really my waterfalling excuse to talk about the Avalanche Peak Track even though Julie and I didn’t get the opportunity to do it during our November 2004 trip to New Zealand.
Bridal Veil Falls
I felt compelled to write this Bridal Veil Falls page (as opposed to integrating it with our Devils Punchbowl Falls page) largely because there was a bit of confusion concerning this waterfall…
Five Mile Creek Falls (“Waterfall Walk”)
Five Mile Creek Falls was a waterfall that I didn’t know its name because the signage at this falls said “Waterfall Walk” and nothing more. It wasn’t until after the trip when I indirectly…
