The waterfalls of New Zealand are incomparable with their world counterparts: they are distinguished by their grandeur, the structure of cascades, and the uniqueness of their location (their "habitat" is pristine tropical and evergreen nature).
Sutherland
The 580-meter waterfall (the best time to visit is December-February) is named after the pioneer of the island, and its stream falls down from the mountain peaks of the Southern Alps (a delightful sight created by splashes and dazzling rainbows). You can get here from Queenstown by rental car or sightseeing bus. If you wish, you can go on a hike - the Milford route passes by the waterfall (its length is 54 km).
Hooka
Huka is a series of waterfalls that attract the attention of connoisseurs of water landscapes and photographers (the most impressive cascade is the waterfall, whose waters fall from an 11-meter height). Tourists are offered to go on a boat tour on a high-speed motor boat - on it they will get almost to the place where the waterfall falls into the river. In addition, you should definitely visit the equipped observation platforms and small bridges thrown across the Waikato River.
Morocopa
To view this waterfall (height from the lower pool - 36 m), viewing platforms are provided for convenience - they are arranged near the top (climbing here is available for trained tourists with special equipment) and at the foot. A tourist trail leads to the lowest point of the waterfall, but guides and instructors do not advise using it, as the trail becomes slippery and rather dangerous due to high humidity.
Since the Waitomo cave system (consists of 150 caves) is nearby, it is worth visiting (along the way you will meet the natural Mangapohue bridge in the form of a stone arch - it, as a result of the destruction of the cave, took the form of a bridge) - fireflies live there, which "illuminate" the cave darkness green-blue light.
Bowen
The Bowen streams (the "violent activity" of the waterfall occurs in the spring months) rush down from a height of 160 meters; it is named after Lady Bowen, the fifth wife of George Bowen (Governor of New Zealand). Not far from the falls, you can see a natural phenomenon in the form of the Milford Sound fjord.
Humboldt
The road to the waterfall (consists of three rapids; estimated height - 275 m; the highest cascade - 134 m) passes by a picturesque tropical forest, and tourists will be invited to observe it from a comfortable observation deck.
