Hirere Falls
Hirere Falls
Hirere Falls is a multi-step waterfall approximately 100 metres (330 feet) high, located along the West Branch of the Clinton River in Fiordland, New Zealand.
It is encountered on the second day of the world-famous Milford Track, roughly an hour or two past Clinton Hut, and is a notable landmark on the Clinton Hut to Mintaro Hut section of the route.
The falls can only be viewed from a distance along the track, with the Hirere Falls Shelter nearby serving as the primary vantage point. A long zoom lens is recommended for photography.
After rainfall, the waterfall is particularly impressive and is often joined by additional cascades on either side as water pours down the surrounding valley walls.
