Sergeant Todd Hollobon, of the Te Anau police, said the woman was kneedeep in water after her plunge but she did not suffer any injuries.
What would have been a straightforward helicopter rescue was made difficult by an overhanging rock, he said.
The area where the woman fell was a short walk into a track and was a popular spot for taking photographs.
