Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls is a series of two horsetail-style waterfalls dropping approximately 25 metres, located along Skippers Road in the Otago region near Queenstown.

The falls sit close to the historic bridge over the Shotover River and are framed by the dramatic scenery of Skippers Canyon.

Access is via roughly 19 kilometres of unsealed, winding gravel road with a poor surface, making a 4WD vehicle strongly recommended — rental cars are generally not permitted on this route.

Once parked near the historic bridge, a short and easy five-minute walk brings visitors to the viewpoint. There are no facilities on site.
