The Milford Sound is one of the most beautiful places in the Fiordland National Park of New Zealand. Pure nature and breathtaking scenery: water, sea, mountains, rocks, wood, trees, bush, moss, waterfalls, rainbows. Amazing wildlife: seals, dolphins, penguins, birds. The Milford Sound is one of the best known tourist attractions of NZ. 100% Pure New Zealand nature experience. A must do for Kiwi travellers! And also one of the top NZ highlights for tourists from overseas.

Milford is by far the best known of all of the fiords and the only one that can be accessed by road. It is approximately 16km from the head of the fiord to the open sea, which means visitors can comfortably travel the length of the fiord to open ocean and return on one of the many cruise options available in one and a half to two hours cruising time. The Maori were the first to attribute the creation of the fiords to a titanic mason, Tute Rakiwhanoa who hued out the steep sided valleys with keen edged adzes. No other explanation seems to fit, as it is impossible to comprehend the sheer breadth of geological events that created this seemingly perfect sculpture, as sheer cliffs rise vertically upward from the ocean.

The best way to discover is a Overnight Cruise because the Sound is silent at night. But also day cruises are a good experience.There are several cruise-operators in the Milford Sound: Real Journeys, Red Boat Cruises, Mitre Peak Cruises and others. The Milford Sound is one of the top tourist attractions of Fiordland National Park and a must to be place for travellers on South Island. In 2003 and 2007 I was four times at Milford Sound, and had four times Sunshine. This is unusual and I am thankful for this. My favorite places in Milford Sound are Harrison Cove and Mitre Peak.

The following places and sites are seen in this Video or are nearby: Mitre Peak, Harrison Cove, Cascade Peak, Mount Phillips, Llawrenny Peaks, Sinbad Gully, Copper Point, Lady Bowen Falls, Sheerdown Peak, Gertrude Saddle, Mount Crosscut, Dale Point, The Elephant, The Lion, Stirling Falls, Mills Peak, Mount Pembroke, Anita Bay, St. Anne Point, The Twins, Adelaide Saddle
