Lady Falls is a waterfall in New Zealand's Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, on the South Island. It is fed by meltwater from the Hooker Glacier and drops about 100 metres, making it a striking sight in a landscape shaped by ice and mountains.
What to expect
The falls are best seen from the Hooker Valley Track, one of the park's most popular walks. Visitors who follow the route are rewarded with views of the falling water set against the surrounding peaks, and the track itself offers a varied walk through the valley.

Planning a visit
Lady Falls suits anyone who enjoys walking in mountain scenery and wants to see the effects of glacier meltwater up close. Because it lies within a national park, it makes a natural stop for a wider day or trip exploring the area's alpine landscape. Visitors should allow time for the walk and dress for changeable mountain weather.
