do not want to tour Fiordlands, be sure to plan a trip
to Milford Sound.
Milford

Milford Sound (a glacial fjord/fiord) is worth the
cost of the trip to New Zealand. The Sound's scenery
is spectacular - do not miss it!
Te

and this is a good place to start your tour of Fiordlands
National Park. The Lake is beautiful but remote and
a prime area for recreational activities. Consider
it for a day trip from Queenstown.

coast of the South Island is highly recommended. You
will pass through rainforest and then find yourself exploring
active glaciers. The scenery is spectacular. The driving
can be challenging but is well worth the effort
