Embark on an unforgettable journey from Te Anau, traversing the breathtaking Fiordland National Park, and arriving at New Zealand’s most iconic tourist destination, Milford Sound. A knowledgeable driver will provide guided commentary throughout the day, ensuring you don’t miss a single highlight [Green Heart][Green Heart]
Begin your adventure by driving along the shores of Lake Te Anau, entering the majestic Fiordland National Park. Pass through ancient beech forests and enter the picturesque Eglinton Valley, one of the few glacial valleys in New Zealand accessible by road. Travel in a comfortable glass-roofed bus, offering panoramic views of the ancient forest and cascading waterfalls.
At the stunning Mirror Lakes, take plenty of photos; on calm days, the surrounding mountains are reflected in the still waters, creating a mesmerizing sight. After passing through the 1.2 km long Homer Tunnel, carved into solid rock, you will arrive at the awe-inspiring Milford Sound [Red Heart][Red Heart]
Here, you will board a luxurious cruise ship for a 1 hour 45 minute tour around the fiord, exploring the area that Rudyard Kipling famously called the Eighth Wonder of the World. As an optional extra, you can pre-purchase a delicious picnic lunch to savor during the cruise. Sail to the Tasman Sea, taking in the breathtaking scenery and lively commentary from the large outdoor deck.
If you prefer to stay indoors, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer unobstructed views, so you won’t miss a thing. Watch the iconic Mitre Peak rise steeply from the depths, reaching an altitude of 1,692 meters, and glide past glacier-scarred rock walls and waterfalls cascading into the deep sea. Lush native forests cling to the steep cliffs, while seals, penguins, and dolphins are frequent visitors to the icy waters.
After the cruise, return to Te Anau by coach.
