Discover Fiordland’s Majesty: Attraction Tours

Fiordland National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its breathtaking fiords, towering mountains, pristine lakes, and cascading waterfalls.

Explore these must-see attractions:

  • Milford Sound: Cruise through this iconic fiord, marveling at towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls like Stirling Falls and Bowen Falls, and diverse wildlife including seals, dolphins, and penguins.

    • Tip: Opt for an early morning or evening cruise for a more serene experience with better lighting for photography.

  • Doubtful Sound: Experience the tranquility of this remote fiord, deeper and less crowded than Milford Sound. Kayaking tours are popular for exploring hidden coves and observing native birdlife.

    • Tip: Combine Doubtful Sound with a scenic flight over Fiordland for unparalleled views.

  • Kepler Track: Hike this renowned multi-day trek through lush beech forests, alpine meadows, and stunning mountain vistas.

    • Tip: Book your hut accommodation well in advance, especially during peak season.

Other Fiordland Highlights:

  • Manapouri Power Station: Learn about the engineering marvel that harnesses the power of Lake Manapouri.

Planning Your Trip:

  • Best time to visit: Year-round, but summer (December - February) offers warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours. Winter (June - August) is ideal for snow-capped mountains and fewer crowds.
  • Getting there: Queenstown is the closest major town with flights and road access. From Queenstown, scenic drives or bus tours connect you to Fiordland.
  • Accommodation: Choose from hotels, motels, lodges, backpacker hostels, and campsites in Te Anau and other nearby towns.

Remember: Respect the natural environment by following Leave No Trace principles. Enjoy the beauty of Fiordland responsibly!
