A 23-meter waterfall, Fantail Falls is located in Mt Aspiring National Park, along HAAST Highway. This is a beautiful and easily accessible waterfall, which drops into the crystal clear Haast River.
Fantail Falls is roughly a 1-hour’ drive away from Wanaka. The road surface is always sealed. If you drive from Wanaka, take SH-6 (Haast Highway) and stay on it for 87km until you see a sign “Fantail Falls” and a car park. There are no facilities there.
An easy 10-minutes’ return Fantail Falls Walk starts from the carpark and leads to the waterfalls lookout. The track is suitable for people of all abilities. The waterfall is located on the opposite side of the river, but you don’t require to cross the river because the waterfall is fully visible from the lookout.
