Mirror Lakes is located fairly early in on the drive to Milford Sound and is well worth a stop with the camera. When you arrive at the Mirror Lakes you will be greeted by a pair of small lakes that provide the most serene and picturesque setting.

The Mirror Lakes perfectly reflects the towering mountains, lush forests, and vibrant vegetation that encircle this area of Fiordland. A well maintained boardwalk meanders along the lakes, allowing you to take a leisurely stroll and fully immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery. As you walk, you might be lucky enough to encounter a friendly South Island Robin, South Island Tomtit, or the always adorable Piwakawaka fantail.

Be sure to take your wide angle lens along with you to this location so you can capture the scene in its entirety, including the natural framing of native beech trees.
