The Fiordland of New Zealand is one of the most beautiful places in the World. His scenery, his remote wilderness and nature are the heart of Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area in southwest New Zealand. The extraordinary beauty of the area was recognised by the United Nations in 1986 when it was made a World Heritage Area.
The Fiordland National Park was described as having superlative natural phenomina and outstanding examples of the earths evolutionary history. Southwest New Zealand is one of the great wilderness areas of the Southern Hemisphere. It is an area where snow-capped mountains, glaciers, rocks, rivers, waterfalls, deep lakes, sea, sounds, unbroken woods, moss and tussock grasslands produce a landscape of exceptional natural beauty. The wildlife is stunning. The area is home for Keas, Kiwis, Bellbirds, Takahes, Tuis, Pukekos, Kakapos, Dolphins, Seals, Penguins and other birds and marine mammals: incredible and exciting nature. 100% Pure New Zealand nature experience. A must do for Kiwi travellers and tourists from overseas. The National Park included some of the best known tourist attractions of the South Island and whole New Zealand and is one of the NZ highlights and top destinations for nature lovers in the world. Best known are the Milford Sound and the Doubtful Sound, but there are a lot of beautiful places of the unknown NZ in the area.
A scenic flight is a great adventure in Fiordland. It is so amazing to fly over and within this stunning scenery. Breathtaking views of mountains, glaciers, valleys, rivers, waterfalls, lakes, sounds, woods, beaches, rocky coastline and some locations for filming the Lord of the Rings movie. I can not say whats my favorite location, because there are so much. I did flying with with Milford Helicopters at Milford Sound and Southern Lakes Helicopters in Te Anau. There are also several other companys.
Also a trip and cruise with Real Journeys, Red Boat Cruises, Mitre Peak Cruises, Fiordland Cruises or Fiordland Expeditions on the amazing sounds are a great experience. Even when weather is rainy and foggy is it a unforgettible jouney into a silent fairy tale world of water, mountains, wood, trees, rocks, moss and low-hanging clouds with dophins, penguins and seals in the water. Sometimes the Doubtful Sound is called the Sound of Silence, there is a cloistered serenity within the fiord that contrasts with Milford Sound. The fiord is rich in flora and fauna, New Zealand Fur Seals and Fiordland Crested Penguins can be seen on many of the small islets at the entrance of the fiord. Doubtful is the deepest of the fiords and is long and winding with three distinct arms and several outstanding waterfalls in the area from Deep Cove to the open ocean, a distance of around fourty kilometres.There are many ways to experience Doubtful Sound by kayak or cruise, as a day trip or on an overnight experience.
The Fiordland is also a paradise for Hiking. There are several Great Walks of New Zealand in the area, like the Milford Track, the Routeburn Track, the Keppler Track and the Dusky Track. Discover the unknown New Zealand by Eco-tourism. Experience the stunning and exciting wilderness and nature of Fiordland National Park, paradise and home of endangered wildlife. If you dont want to make it alone do it with companys like Fiordland Nature observations, Fiordland Wilderness Experience or Milford Sea Kayaks. The aerea is also popular for deer hunting, often by chopper. In the last years Fiordland becomes also popular for adrenaline fun sports like base jumping in wingsuit and surfing big waves on previously inaccessible coastlines and mountains.
