Milford Sound is one of those places that feels almost unreal — like it’s been plucked straight from a fantasy film. Sheer cliffs rise out of inky water, waterfalls tumble from impossible heights, and on a rainy day (which is often), the fiord comes alive with hundreds of temporary waterfalls cascading down the rock faces. It’s no wonder Rudyard Kipling called it the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’ 

Tucked away in Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound isn’t the easiest place to get to — but that’s part of what makes it so special. The drive in is an experience in itself, winding through valleys, past mirror-like lakes, and under towering peaks that make you feel gloriously small. And when you finally arrive? That first glimpse of the fiord is something you won’t forget in a hurry.
