Helena Falls, Coastal waterfall in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand

Helena Falls is a waterfall in Fiordland National Park on New Zealand's South Island that drops about 150 metres in several tiers into the head of Doubtful Sound/Patea, west of the 1598-metre Mount George.

Helena Falls is named after Helene Fels (1882–1914), mother of the poet Charles Brasch. She was the eldest daughter of Willi Fels, a merchant, collector and philanthropist from Halle in Lower Saxony who settled in New Zealand. The German-language sources give her married name as Helene Brasch.

The waterfall is named after Helene Fels (1882–1914), mother of the poet Charles Brasch and eldest daughter of the merchant and philanthropist Willi Fels, who came from Halle in Lower Saxony. The name links the site to a family that settled in the Southland region.

The walking track to the waterfall's base starts from the Doubtful Sound road terminus and is accessible on foot. Weather and seasonal conditions can change quickly, so proper gear and planning ahead are essential.
