Milford Sound is a breathtaking natural wonder located in the stunning Glenorchy region. This magnificent fjord is surrounded by towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, and lush rainforests, making it a true paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
The sound is carved out of granite by glaciers during the ice age, and its pristine waters are home to a variety of marine life, including dolphins, seals, and penguins. Visitors can take a boat tour to explore the sound and get up close and personal with the wildlife, or kayak through the calm waters for a more intimate experience.
The surrounding mountains offer endless opportunities for hiking and trekking, with trails ranging from easy walks to challenging multi-day hikes. The Milford Track, one of the most famous hiking trails in the world, takes visitors through some of the most stunning scenery in the region, including alpine meadows, crystal-clear lakes, and towering peaks.
For those seeking a more relaxed experience, there are plenty of scenic drives and lookout points to take in the breathtaking views of the sound and its surroundings. The Mirror Lakes, located just a short drive from Milford Sound, offer a stunning reflection of the surrounding mountains and are a must-see for any visitor.
