Fantail Falls in another easily accessible waterfall in the Haast Pass located just off the State Highway.

These 23 metre fan shaped falls sit just across the Haast River at the foot of Fantail Creek. It is quite easy to cross the river as it runs quite shallow just in front of the falls. Beware the water is freezing!

The beautiful blue water from the Haast River makes for a stunning foreground, and the surrounding Beech forest creates an incredibly green frame around the falls.

Photography info: These shots were taken from the opposite side of the Haast River, just off the track on the rocky foreshore. There is plenty of space along the rocks to create a composition.

I used a 10 stop filter to slow the water down and create that smooth effect on the water and my wide angle lens.
