Waterfalls
It is said that New Zealand has 249 named waterfalls… I haven’t seen them all but here are a few that I particularly like, either for their shapes or the conditions at the time that the shot was taken.

Owharoa Falls

Milford Sound
There are countless waterfalls at Milford Sound, New Zealand. Some are permanents, and a lot of other ones are only temporary, that form after big rainfalls.
Info
Devil’s Punchbowl I
A spectacular waterfall in Arthur’s Pass, New Zealand. I absolutely loved the snow on the rocks around it.

A larger view of Devil’s Punchbowl waterfall in Arthur’s Pass, New Zealand.

Coal Creek Falls
A lovely bush walk takes you to this waterfall that, luckily, was stroke with some really nice sunbeams.
Info
Mangatini Falls
A waterfall seen from the Charming Creek walkway and after having crossed a high, yet very narrow, suspension bridge.
Info
Purakaunui Falls
One of the most photographed waterfalls in New Zealand, which is also featured on national postage stamps.
Info
Dorothy Falls
Dorothy Falls, near Lake Kaniere and the town of Hokitika, New Zealand. The shape of this waterfall makes me think of an hourglass, don’t you think?
Info
Matai Falls
A 10m waterfall reachable after a short fifteen-minute walk, in the Catlins, New Zealand.
Info
Koropuku Falls
A very fun and short walk takes you to these falls, in the Catlins, New Zealand.

Marian Falls
Marian Falls are not as spectacular as other high waterfalls, but are rather a series of cascades on your way to Lake Marian, in the Milford Sound area, New Zealand.
