There are so many waterfalls in South Island like North Island in Newzealand. But here we discuss some of them. Those are most famous and visited places here.
Humboldt Falls is one of the better kept secrets in Fiordland National Park. This is 275 meters long and also accompanied by a tall companion waterfall about half the overall height of the main falls. Once you reached you can visit it for free as long as you can arrange your own transport to the track itself.
Just beware of the sand flies.

Hidden Falls is a gushing 20 meter or 25 meter that I reckon got its name from the fact that it's mostly hidden from view the main track. The Hidden Falls required a pretty long 5-6 hours of hiking along the Holly ford Track.

Devils Punchbowl Falls is the tallest and most prominent waterfall feature in the Arthur's Pass ares. Towering at 131m, this snow-fed waterfall can be seen in a variety of ways. I was able to see the falls both from the base and from across the Arthur,s Pass Valley.

Twin Creek Falls is a 115m waterfall that you can spot from the Arthur's Pass Highway not far from the Otira Viaduct. But it's usually over looked as drivers motor their way through this Southern Alps traverse. Had it not been for Devil's Punchbowl Falls not much further to the South, this waterfall might have gotten its own signed car park as well as increased attention.
