A pretty waterfall beside the Haast River. The schist beach has become a monument to rock stacks. The flat, smooth, easily stacked rocks are placed into towers and sculptures by passing travellers. Only to be demolished by other travellers or the next flood.
Not a place to visit in flood.
Fantail Falls are well signposted 4.8 km from the Gates of Haast and 3.7 km from Haast Pass.
The concrete track nips into the beech forest then descends to the schist beach opposite the falls.
