Things to do in Milford – Boat Cruises, Scenic Flights Guided Walks & Diving

Milford Sound is situated on the west coast of the South Island in the Fiordland national park of New Zealand, described by victorian poet and storyteller Rudyard Kipling as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’ carved by glaciers during the ice ages.
Wet or fine the stunning Milford Sound is breathtaking in any weather, the fiord’s cliffs rise vertically from the dark waters below to towards the sky, numerous waterfalls cascade down from high above with the largest and permanent of the falls being the ‘Stirling Falls’ and the ‘Lady Bowen falls’
When it rains in Milford sound which is quite often ( average 7 metres of rainfall per year) waterfalls multiply cascading down the sheer cliff faces giving spectacular and dramatic effects, without doubt a cruise on Milford sound is an unforgettable experience.
