Enjoy a scenic drive through Fiordland National Park - the largest national park in New Zealand. See the majestic mountains and lush Fiordlands forests reflected in the calm waters of Mirror Lake. Keep an eye out for keas, New Zealand's cheeky alpine parrot, at the entrance to the Homer Tunnel. Marvel at the iconic Mitre Peak as it rises from the clear waters of Milford Sound, dominating the skyline. Experience Fiordland, recognised by the United Nations as a World Heritage Area and home to the magical Milford Sound. Return to Te Anau for a restful evening following an exciting and eventful day.
OPTIONAL EXCURSION:
Described by poet Rudyard Kipling as "eighth wonder of the world", Milford Sound is a sight to behold. Hear water cascading down steep rock faces, breathe in the crisp sea air and soak up some spectacular scenery as you cruise the sound by boat. Milford Sound's unique marine environment is a haven for dusky dolphins, New Zealand fur seals and the rare Fiordland crested penguin, so keep your eyes peeled and your camera close. You cannot truly appreciate the untamed beauty of Milford Sound until you have experienced it by boat.
