This is my personal favorite waterfall in the area, and in my opinion, the best view is when you&#8217;re approaching it by boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It perfectly flows off a U-shaped valley between two mountains and is fed by glacier waters, so you know it&#8217;s chilly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the unique experiences here is that your cruise captain usually takes the boat right up under all the mist and spray.

Fairy Falls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Milford Sound, which, to be honest, is quite a claim, is Fairy Falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s one of the semi permanent waterfalls in the area, so only during a super dry period does it disappear. However, the majority of the time, it&#8217;s flowing free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The water from here drops straight down into the fiord, and this is another spot a lot of boat cruises will drive slightly under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yes, stay inside, otherwise, bring your rain jacket and prepare to get DRENCHED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t keen on getting wet, you can actually still experience this waterfall by literally drinking it! Yes, on some boat tours, the crew sets up glasses to catch the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, this is a glacier fed waterfall, and the water here is the purest around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Best Time To Visit Fairy Falls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said, Fairy Falls is one of the semi permanent waterfalls here in Milford Sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your best chances of visiting will be in Spring, Autumn, or Winter, where you don&#8217;t get day after day of dry hot weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more rain, the more powerful this fall will be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Get To Fairy Falls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping on trend, yes, of course, you&#8217;ll need to book one of the boat cruises to visit Fairy Falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know it&#8217;s a hassle that you can&#8217;t just explore it by yourself, but it&#8217;s 100% worth it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"66O8EST\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"527\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/waterfalls-in-milford-sound-fairy-527x800.webp\" alt=\"Twin waterfalls called fairy falls descend from a misty cliff into the deep waters of Milford Sound, with mountains in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-79808\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/waterfalls-in-milford-sound-fairy-527x800.webp 527w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/waterfalls-in-milford-sound-fairy-263x400.webp 263w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/waterfalls-in-milford-sound-fairy-768x1167.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/waterfalls-in-milford-sound-fairy.webp 790w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">beautiful fairy falls with the impressive mountainside behind<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/waterfalls-in-milford-sound-fairy-3-533x800.webp\" alt=\"A thin cascade at fairy falls trickles down a cliff face lined with moss, disappearing into the waters of Milford Sound.\" class=\"wp-image-79810\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/waterfalls-in-milford-sound-fairy-3-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/waterfalls-in-milford-sound-fairy-3-267x400.webp 267w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/waterfalls-in-milford-sound-fairy-3-768x1152.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/waterfalls-in-milford-sound-fairy-3.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">watching fairy falls disappear into the waters below<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bridal-veil-falls\">5.

Sutherland Falls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, okay, now for some real effort = reward type of scenario, Sutherland Falls is def the one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So by no means is this waterfall easy to get to. If you aren&#8217;t so worried about money, then you can take an incredible scenic flight, which takes you over the top and is well worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you&#8217;re a lil more like me and can&#8217;t really afford to splash out on scenic flights too often (never), then it&#8217;s time to lace up those trekking boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to head off on the epic Milford Sounds Track, a 4 day hike, and known as THE great walk in New Zealand. But, of course, it&#8217;s never that easy either. You&#8217;ll need to purchase tickets (and only 40 tickets are available per day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are released once a year, typically in June, and do sell out immediately. You can keep up to date on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doc.govt.nz\/parks-and-recreation\/things-to-do\/walking-and-tramping\/great-walks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DOC Great Walks Webpage<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to the waterfall, Sutherland Falls is an insane 580 metres high, which is pretty damn mind blowing. Plus, if you decide to do the hike, you&#8217;ll get a whole heap of awesome other views along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2561.922208841355!2d167.72635647606145!3d-44.80085856468858!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0xa9d6780e8bb0835b%3A0x5fe6a922dd6cb968!2sSutherland%20Falls!5e1!3m2!1sen!2snz!4v1757404547256!5m2!1sen!2snz\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bt4-wlpBpqM\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
