What can I do in Milford Sound?
Fiordland is one of the world’s most spectacular environments, so it’s no surprise you’ll find some of the world’s most spectacular activities to do here.
Take a Milford Sound cruise and discover why Milford Sound is actually a fiord not a sound. Or perhaps be one of the lucky ones to spot a rare Fiordland Crested Penguin nesting on the rocks? At Harrison Cove, you can visit New Zealand’s only floating underwater observatory and see the incredible Black Coral (which is actually white).
An early morning kayak on the tranquil waters of the “eighth wonder of the world” is something you will never forget. Along the Milford road, a surprising number of short walks and mountain hikes provide ample reason to stop and explore tracks, waterfalls and glacially-carved valleys.
Stay the night at Milford Sound Lodge and you have all the time you need to do these activities - and more. Need some help booking a Milford Sound activity? No problem, we’re local experts, and we’re happy to help you choose and book your bucket list experience.
