There are more than a hundred of mountain lakes (tarns) in the park. Veľké Hincovo pleso is the biggest one with an area of 0,2 km² and the deepest one with 58 m. The area around the settlement of Štrbské Pleso is a border between two drainage basins. To the east of this border, streams form the Poprad River, which belongs to the Baltic Sea drainage basin. To the west streams are tributaries of the Váh, which belongs to the Black Sea drainage basin. The most popular waterfalls include Studenovodské vodopády, Kmeťov vodopád, Vajanského vodopád, Roháčsky vodopád, and Vodopád Skok.

The highest point in the park is Gerlachovský štít at 2,655 m ASL, highest peak in Slovakia, the Tatra Mountains and the Carpathian Mountains. Bystrá is the highest mountain in the Western Tatras at 2,248 m ASL, and Havran (literally Raven) is the highest point in the Belianske Tatras at 2,152 m ASL.

About 300 caves are situated in the park but only one is open to public - Belianska Cave, near the village of Lendak. The longest cave system discovered so far is the cave of Javorinka
