Sutherland Falls is one of the world's highest waterfalls with 580 meters high. and the natural wilderness where there is for most tourists who come to see it, a big plus.This waterfall also vies with Browne Falls as well as Bluff Falls for the title of tallest waterfall in New Zealand. Depending on your definition of a waterfall, some people (such as the authors of the World Waterfall Database) would say that both Browne and Bluff trumps Sutherland in height. Either way, there's no denying that it's Sutherland that's the most spectacular as it has the steepest slope and the most satisfying shape. It is connected to Arthur river.
