Milford Sound

 

 

Many people will have heard of Milford Sound – it is probably New Zealand's top tourist destination (back when there were such things).  Rudyard Kipling even called it the 8th wonder of the world.

 


Milford Sound is a fiord found in the Fiordland National Park.  It's name in Te Reo is Piopiotahi – a single Piopio (a little bird)

 


There are 2 permanent water falls – Lady Bowen falls and Stirling falls.

 

Rainfall is over 250 inches a year.

 


You can see seals, penguins and dolphins.

 


If you ever have the chance to visit, take it – it is a long one day trip from Queenstown.
