Milford Sound
Milford Sound, located in Fiordland National Park, is often called the jewel of New Zealand’s South Island. Surrounded by towering cliffs, lush rainforests, and dramatic peaks like Mitre Peak, it offers scenery so striking it feels almost otherworldly. Visitors can take boat cruises through the fiord, where cascading waterfalls plunge from great heights and playful dolphins and seals are often seen. Kayaking offers a closer perspective of the still waters, while scenic flights reveal the grandeur of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The area’s mist and changing light create a constantly shifting atmosphere, adding to its magic. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Milford Sound is a place where nature’s beauty is at its most powerful, leaving visit “Milford Sound” by Pedro Szekely (https://www.flickr.com/photos/pedrosz/49213682307), licensed under CC BY 2.0 . “Milford Sound” by Pedro Szekely (https://www.flickr.com/photos/pedrosz/51909649761), licensed under CC BY 2.0 .
