Breathtaking fiord in New Zealand

Sightseeing

Message from Hayley Andersen

Milford Sound, also known as Piopiotahi, is a stunning fiord located in the southwest of New Zealand's South Island. With its towering rock faces, cascading waterfalls, and diverse wildlife including bottlenose dolphins, it's no wonder this place has been dubbed the eighth Wonder of the World by Rudyard Kipling. Visitors can access Milford Sound via road or boat, making it a must-see destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

It doesn't matter if it's sunshine or rain, Milford is extraordinary! Sometimes its even better to see the Fjord during a big downfall, as the waterfalls come to life.
