Discovering Hidden Gems: New Zealand Travel Day 6 Adventure

Queenstown➡️Milford Sound📍
We booked a unique boat stay through realnz, and it was an unforgettable night spent in the heart of the fjord🌊

🌧️Milford Sound truly comes alive on rainy days. The rain transforms the landscape, with countless waterfalls cascading down from the misty mountains, creating a breathtaking spectacle. It’s a sight that will leave you in awe! This was the only rainy day of our trip, and it couldn’t have been more perfectly timed☔️

🚢Staying overnight on the boat is an absolute must!!
-If you’re considering a day trip, be prepared for a long 8-hour round trip.
-Our boat stay included a tour of the majestic fjord waterfalls and the option to go kayaking. Despite the rain, all activities went ahead, and those eager to kayak braved the elements.

-❗The highlight of staying on the boat is the incredible wildlife encounters! You might get lucky and see playful dolphins🐬swimming alongside the boat, and at night, seals come out to hunt, sometimes even swimming up to the deck! During our kayaking adventure, we also spotted some adorable forest penguins🐧!

-That evening, as the rain cleared, we were treated to a stunning starry sky. While not as spectacular as the skies in Tekapo, we still saw a multitude of stars and the Milky Way🌌, making it a magical experience.

‼️Tips:
1. Don’t forget to bring a waterproof jacket; you’ll definitely need it if you plan to kayak in the rain!
2. Pack a small suitcase for your boat stay; the rooms are spacious enough to accommodate it. Remember to include a change of clothes!
3. Book your boat stay well in advance, as spots fill up quickly.
4. Boarding is at 4:00 PM, and disembarkation is at 9:00 AM the next morning.
