Hirere Falls
Hirere FallsHidden gem, Hirere Falls is a charming multi-step waterfall which is aproached on the 2nd day of the world famous Milford Track. The waterfall is seen from a distance, and a closer approach (officially) is impossible, hence a photo-camera with a long-zoom is required for good photos.

Walking and driving instructions
There is only one way to approach this waterfall - 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. Hirere Falls is approached on the second day of the journey, but there are other waterfalls which are accessible along Milford Track. An hour or two past the Clinton Hut and you approach a first view of the waterfall. The waterfall is on your right. Ater (or during) a rain the waterfall is accompanied with the two other waterfalls - one in the middle is Hirere Falls. You'll need to walk about 30 more minutes to reach the best view of the waterfall. |
