Lady Alice Falls

Lady Alice Falls is a coastal waterfall in Southland that drops approximately 200 meters into a fjord. The water plunges directly into Doubtful Sound near Deep Cove and is best viewed from the water.

The waterfall was documented during early European exploration of the region and received its name during surveys of Fiordland. It has become one of the more familiar falls that visitors encounter in this area.

The waterfall forms part of Fiordland's natural heritage, where water elements hold particular importance in New Zealand's environmental conservation efforts.

The waterfall is best viewed from a boat tour, since it drops directly into the fjord from the water's edge. Most visitors reach it as part of a guided excursion through Doubtful Sound.

The waterfall carries different amounts of water depending on the season, with the most powerful cascades in winter and lighter flows during drier months. This variation makes each visit a different visual experience.
