Milford Sound Attractions and Activities
Consistently ranked New Zealand’s 1# attraction, Milford Sound is a stunning fiord of incomparable break-taking natural beauty set deep into the very heart of Fiordland National Park. Milford Sound Attractions and Activities focus on exploring the sheer opulence of the natural grandeur of this dramatic, untouched region and primarily focus on leisurely cruises, kayaking, scenic flights and alpine hiking. Milford Sound is equally incredible in both the sun and rain - in the sun the fiord lights up for all to see it’s incredible mountains and peaks, while in the rain Milford Sound comes alive with hundreds of thundering waterfalls gushing over its vertical cliff faces on both sides of your cruise boat. more
Milford sound attractions and activities enable travellers to truly appreciate this World Heritage listed site (part of the larger Te Wahipounamu site). Milford sound is an utterly dazzling fiord of unparalleled beauty – characterised by sheer cliffs, lush rainforest, rugged mountains, snow-capped peaks, cascading waterfalls, and characterised in the water by bottlenose dolphins, Fiordland penguins, fur seals and sometimes whales. Milford Sound attractions cater for a range of travellers and budgets from the adrenaline seeker, to the wilderness explorer, to the leisurely cruise lover.
