Things to Do and See When Visiting the Milford Sounds
Due to the many tours operating here, this region's
unforgettable scenery is easily accessible to all visitors.
Experience one of New Zealand's great walks such as the Routeburn,
Milford or Kepler tracks. Go flight-seeing over Fiordland
National Park, the ultimate way to appreciate the sheer scale of
the landscape's lakes, fiords and mountains. Cruise the
fiords at a relaxing pace or kayak around the sheltered waters,
encountering dolphins and seals along the way. Visit Milford
Deep at Milford Sound to see an underwater landscape of black coral
that's every bit as unique as the landscape above the surface.
Getting There & Around the Milford Sounds
Queenstown International Airport is the nearest airport offering
scheduled flights from Christchurch. Charter flights from Te
Anau Airport are available. Te Anau is 9.5. hours from
Christchurch. The road from Te Anau to Milford is fully
sealed, but parts are occasionally closed due to poor weather and
vehicles on the Milford Road must carry chains during winter.
The Milford Sound region is served well by coach services.
