Breathtaking Fiordland

Fiordland is one of the most dramatic and beautiful parts of New Zealand. Absorb the breathtaking treasures of this region by water, air or  hiking.

Carved by glaciers over 100,000 years the landscape is one where waterfalls cascade hundreds of metres into deep black fiords; where  ancient rainforest clings to mountains and where shimmering lakes and granite peaks look as they did a thousand years ago.

Fiordland National Park is a World Heritage Site and includes Milford, Dusky and Doubtful Sounds. Milford Sound was described by  Rudyard Kipling as the Eighth Wonder of the World; take a scenic flight over it and you will understand why.

Some of the fiords can be explored by kayak but if you’d like to see the less accessible fiords, eco-tours can be arranged. Fiordland National  Park has three of New Zealand’s ‘great walks’, the Milford, Kepler and Routeburn Tracks. Milford Track is arguably New Zealand’s most  famous walk. Starting in Te Anau, it takes you over 53 kilometres through the most breath-taking scenery: mountains, lakes and enormous  valleys right up to the Sutherland Falls, the tallest waterfall in New Zealand.

Soak up the vast panoramic views of the glacial – carved fiords, wander through lush unspoiled rainforests, reach the unreachable by flight or  cruise and cycle your way through spectacular terrain. By the end of your stay you’ll wish you had taken more time off here.
