Fly from Queenstown airport over Lake Wakatipu, taking in the grandeur of the Southern Alps as you fly deep into the heart of Fiordland National Park.

Milford Sound, the most famous fiord in the Fiordland National Park, is located on the south-west coast of New Zealand. The Te Wähipounamu region earned a World Heritage Status in 1986, recognised by UNESCO as one of great natural areas of the world.
Reaching from the mountains out to sea, the natural grandeur of Milford Sound was carved out over time by ancient glaciers, actually making it a fiord rather than a sound.
At the forefront of the fiord, Mitre Peak stands tall at 1692m. From the head of the fiord, it then stretches 16km out to the horizon where the Tasman Sea meets Fiordland. Lady Bowen Falls and Stirling Falls are two of the permanent waterfalls you’ll find in Milford Sound. Both of these waterfalls rise taller than the famous Niagara Falls!
This untouched region is one to add to your list of must-do’s while visiting New Zealand. Lose all track of time as you step back into a prehistoric world, a vast landscape that still to this day remains largely untamed.
