Walking and driving instructions

 

There is only one way to approach these waterfalls - walk the Milford Track (only DOC individual walks and guided walks are available. DOC huts must be booked in advance).

You need to organize a transport to Te Anau Downs where the track starts; then a transport from Milford Sound where the track finishes. Transport can be easily booked as part of Milford Track booking via official DOC site.

Jervois Glacier Waterfalls are approached on the third day of the journey, but there are other waterfalls which are accessible along Milford Track.

In a good weather, the first view of the waterfalls appear from the top of Mackinnon Pass. The best view appear after 30-60 minutes of descend from the top of Mackinnon Pass.

Jervois Glacier Waterfalls are a series of at least 3 waterfalls; first one drops from Jervois Glacier, that's why we call these waterfalls 'Jervois Glacier Waterfalls'. Two other waterfalls are seen on the right hand side from the bridge over the Roaring Burn; these waterfalls drop from Mt Baloon.
