Sound Experience

Milford Sound!

Milford sound is located in the Fiordland of NZ's south island. It takes about 5 hours to reach from Queenstown; stopping off in Te Anau, travelling through Homer tunnel and transversing the alpines of Milford road, which itself has numerous awe-inspiring outlooks.

Straight cut rocky mountain faces that soar from beneath the ocean surround the ship as you cruise along the outskirts of the majestic sound which is formed by great glacier movements hundreds of years ago.

The day I visited Milford I was lucky enough to have blue skies with heavy clouds that surrounded the peaks of the sound. The strong winds were dominant as we navigated the highlights of the naturally formed wonder, which included waterfalls - from the rain the night before, seals and the sheer cliff faces.
