Fantail Falls is a stunning waterfall just off the main road, making it a quick and easy stop during your West Coast drive. The trail to the falls is short and flat, taking only a few minutes to reach the viewing platform.

The waterfall tumbles beautifully over a mossy cliff into a pool below, surrounded by lush native forest. It’s a perfect spot to stretch your legs, take photos, and enjoy a moment of calm in New Zealand’s wilderness
