Milford Sound

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.
