Thunder Creek Falls

Thunder Creek Falls drops 28 meters from steep cliffs covered in dense vegetation, creating a single stream that flows into the Haast River.

The waterfall became accessible to visitors after the construction of State Highway 6, which connects the settlements of South Island through Haast Pass.

The waterfall represents a natural monument within the Mount Aspiring National Park, part of New Zealand's conservation efforts to protect natural water sources.

The falls can be reached via a 400-meter walking track from the parking area on Haast Pass-Makarora Road, requiring only 5 minutes of walking.

The water maintains a constant flow throughout the year due to the melting glacier water supply, creating patterns in the limestone rock formations.
