Day Trips

Milford Sound
The pristine Milford Sound is part of the World Heritage Fiordland National Park, in the south west of the South Island, and is famed for its remote atmosphere and rugged beauty.
It’s not hard to imagine why writer Rudyard Kipling called Milford Sound the ‘eighth wonder of the world’, Milford Sound was carved by glaciers during the ice ages. It is New Zealand’s best-known fiord and the only one that can be reached by road. Maori are believed to have discovered Milford Sound more than 1,000 years ago. Milford Sound is breath-taking in any weather. Cliffs rise high into the air from the dark waters, mountain peaks scrape the sky and waterfalls cascade downwards, some as high as 1000 metres. When it rains in Milford Sound (and it often does) those waterfalls multiply with magnificent effect. Take a day trip to Milford Sound and experience one of New Zealand’s must-do attractions. Sightseeing tours to Milford Sound depart daily from Queenstown https://www.milford-sound.co.nz/tours/
