MILFORD SOUND

Milford sound is one of the most popular fiords in New Zealand and is a part of the Fiordland national park. With its unique wildlife, hundreds of waterfalls, and towering mountain peaks, the Milford Sound is one of New Zealand famous places, and you have to witness its raw beauty to affirm the same!

Defined as the 'Eighth wonder of the world', the Milford Sound offers a unique package of towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls and inky dark waters. It lies in the UNESCO World Heritage national park reflecting New Zealand's wild side and is a treasured gem in Fiordland.

Milford Sound is a steep and narrow glacially-carved valley and a treasure-trove to Piopiotahi Marine Reserve, dolphins, penguins and seals. Its underwater observatory lets you explore the marine world just metres below the surface and is perfect to enjoy diving.

Along with this, its cliffs rising from the dark waters present a unique spectacle while waterfalls cascading from a huge height with a roaring sound intensify the magic of overall scenery. Boat cruises, kayaking, helicopter rides, hiking, and overnight lodging help unravel the real charm of Milford Sound and leave the visitor mesmerized.
