Milford Sound

150 have been there, and only 93 people think its worth visiting. This means 38 of people who visit Milford Sound are insane. This place is quintessential New Zealand. Drive there, its a long drive, but you’ll be gawking the whole way.

For me, the drive in was actuallly the best part. It was early morning and the clouds filled the valleys. The mountain tops were impossible to see, shrouded in mist. Coming through the tunnel, the valley below was just peaks pointing up through the clouds. By the time we reached port, the clouds had cleared for a beautiful sunny cruise, but at this point, I think was just overwhelmed by the beauty of everything that the cruise didn’t seem nearly as impressive as it might have if it had not been preceded by that drive. Still, going right up to a waterfall and getting wet in it was very fun, as was seeing some of the native wildlife at the underwater observatory.

The cruises are expensive but worth it. Plan for this to take a whole day, and do not let rain stop you! When it is raining, there are more waterfalls and it is quite stunning.

What a nature, what a country, i love it, so pure…

I went with my family. It’s quite expensive but worth it. One of the most magnificent thing I’ve ever seen.

It’s a long drive in and out so if you don’t have much time in NZ I’d probably give it a miss.

If you can afford it, I would take a bus (coach) on the way to Milford Sound and then fly back. There is so much to see on the way to the Sound that you miss when you fly.

I did the 3 day overland treck through milford, and let me say, the scenery is awing, it’s gotta be one of the most beatiful places and it’s so well maintained. definitely a must do!!

The nature here is incredible!!!!

Go when it’s raining!!!!!
More waterfalls than you can even imagine counting!
Amazing and stupifying place!
