Milford Sound Cruise

Milford Sound is situated in the southwest of New Zealand's South Island in the famous Fiordland National Park. This region is widely regarded as the 8th Wonder of the World, and it's not hard to see why. This place is incredible.

It's been said that you have to visit Milford Sound twice - once in the rain to see the hundreds of waterfalls that come tumbling down the mountains and once in the sunshine to see the majestic fiordland spread out in front of you.

How to Get to Milford Sound

Most visitors will fly into Queenstown which is a 3h 45m drive away through Te Anau and the beautiful Fiordland National Park. You can either drive or go with a tour company. I recommend spending more than just a day in Milford Sound to truly experience this magical place.

I am traveling around New Zealand with a Stray bus pass that gives me unlimited hop-on, hop-off access all across the country. I took the Stray bus from Queenstown to Te Anau where I hung out for a couple days to hike the Kepler Track before venturing on to Milford Sound.
