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. Saint Quintin Falls is approached on the second day of the journey, but there are other waterfalls which are accessible along Milford Track. 20-30 minutes’ walk past Pompolona Lodge through the bush and you'll see the waterfall. The waterfall is seen on your right from a distance. Despite the fact that the waterfall should be very beautiful and tall, due to poor visibility it doesn't look much impressive. This one is ideal for a ‘drone photo’. Note: We don't know exact height of the waterfall: the official sign on the Milford Track says "230m", however the Topo maps say "115m". The truth is out there... |
