Fiordland
Fiordland, just 2 hours from Queenstown or Invercargill, is one of the southern hemisphere’s greatest wilderness regions achieving World Heritage Status for its spectacular natural features, remarkable beauty and role in demonstrating the earth’s evolutionary history. Home of Mitre Peak, the stunning fiords of Doubtful Sound and Milford Sound, the beautiful lake towns of Te Anau and Manapouri and the Kepler, Milford and Routeburn Tracks, Fiordland is known as the sightseeing capital of the world. Extraordinary scenic beauty has earned this region a reputation as a significant walking destination, and a “must see” for anyone travelling to New Zealand. more
Of the fourteen fiords in the Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound is the most famous and accessible. The Milford Road is a magnificent alpine journey and is one of the world’s finest drives. The magnificence of this drive even dazzles locals used to New Zealand's breath-taking scenery. Travel along sparkling clear-blue lakes, through unforgettable valleys flanked by towering rugged ranges, over wild cascading rivers, through lush rainforest, and around majestic cliff faces before reaching the high alpine Homer Tunnel which emerges to reveal a dramatic picturesque glacier-cut valley before finely reaching the utterly stunning and iconic Milford Sound.
A trip into Doubtful Sound provides a boundless wilderness experience. Visitors are often rewarded with dolphins and a wealth of marine life on a visit to the more remote Doubtful Sound. Fiordland provides a wide range of activities and opportunities to discover every aspect of its unique environment, from boat cruise and kayak options, scenic flights, glow-worm caves or the unique Discovery Centre underwater observatory.
Located 20 kms from Te Anau, Lake Manapouri provides an excellent base from which to discover Doubtful Sound and offers services such as a café, restaurant, small shop and service station. Guided tours depart from both towns daily to visit the fiords, or to explore the many other features within Fiordland National Park.
The picturesque lakeside township of Te Anau, provides a perfect base to explore the area and provides a wide-ranging variety of services to visitors. It is the closest service base to Milford Sound and is known as the “walking capital of the world” due its proximity to the many outstanding walking tracks, including the Great Walks of the Milford Track, Routeburn Track and Kepler Track.
When you travel to Fiordland you are visiting one of the most beautiful and dramatic parts of New Zealand. It is the perfect location for enjoying all outdoor activities or just relaxing and taking in the stunning mountain vistas.
