Milford Sound

Iconic Fiord

Overview

Milford Sound

Often called the eighth wonder of the world, Milford Sound is a fiord carved by ice, hemmed in by cliffs that rise straight out of the water and dressed in waterfalls that appear after every rainfall. Cruises glide beneath Mitre Peak, past resting fur seals and pods of dolphins, and into rainforest so dense it grows straight off vertical rock. The drive in through Fiordland National Park — via the Homer Tunnel — is one of the most dramatic approaches to any single sight in New Zealand.

Ideal for: Nature lovers, cruise-goers, photographers
