we have options to either hike, cruise or take a road trip along this milford sound area with each of them showing different angle of beauty
Milford Sound is 295km from Queenstown (4 hours 15 minutes) and 121km from Te Anau (2 hours 15 minutes). The road passes through unspoiled mountain landscapes before entering the 1.2km Homer Tunnel which emerges into rain-forest-carpeted canyons that descend to the sound.
The Milford Road, while of a very high standard, is prone to avalanches. During the winter months snow falls regularly. The long distances involved prompt many visitors to visit Milford Sound on a sightseeing coach tour. A number of options are available from Queenstown and Te Anau. As the return journey is back along the Milford Road, many visitors choose to return by scenic flight
milford sound cruise is a 1 hour 45 minutes to 3 hours with some visits to the milford deep observatory
The most famous tramp in New Zealand, the Milford Track is often called the Finest Walk in the World. It is great — 4 days; over a mountain saddle, sprayed by spectacular Sutherland Falls, boating on spectacular Milford Sound. Rudyard Kipling called Milford Sound the eighth wonder of the world.
The Milford Track is wild wet terrain; lakes, rivers, waterfalls, rainforest, beech and podocarp forest, alpine meadows. The fishing is superb. You enjoy amazing views from well marked, mostly easy track.
Some (including many Kiwis) prefer nearby alpine alternatives; the Routeburn, Kepler, Cascade Saddle or Dusky Sound Tracks. No doubt about it, the Southern Alps of New Zealand is one of the most fabulous hiking destinations on Earth
