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.

Hidden Lake Waterfall is approached on the second day of the journey, but there are other waterfalls which are accessible along Milford Track.

Hidden Lake Waterfall is an unofficially named waterfall which drops into Hidden Lake. A few minutes past the view of Hirere Falls, you'll see a sign 'Hidden Lake' and a side track. Turn left, then 5 minutes later you'll see the lake and the waterfall.

In a good weather it’s a nice spot for a lunch break.
