Milford Sound

Milford Sound is often described as the "eighth wonder of the world." Visitors can explore the fjord by boat, kayak, or scenic flight, witnessing dramatic cliffs, Mitre Peak, and abundant wildlife like dolphins, seals, and penguins. The journey through Fiordland is just as spectacular as the destination, with dense rainforests and stunning viewpoints along the Milford Road.

History

Milford Sound was carved by glaciers during the ice ages and holds deep significance for the Māori people, who named it Piopiotahi. The first European to explore it was John Grono in 1812. Later, tourism blossomed, turning Milford Sound into one of New Zealand's most visited natural attractions, revered for its untouched beauty and ecological significance.
