12 Waterfall along Acheron Passage at Fiordland, New Zealand

Waterfalls are plentiful along Acheron Passage, especially south of Wet Jacket Arms. They are sourced by two mountains on the port side of your ship: Mount Forster (3,700 feet) and Mount Hodges (3419 feet). There are at least a hundred more falls in nearby Dusky Sound. These cascades are especially bountiful after a heavy rainfall. And there is no shortage of precipitation around here. Typically, it rains up to 300 inches during about 200 days a year. The tallest waterfall within Fiordland is Sutherland Falls near Milford Sound with an amazing, three-level drop of 1,900 feet.
