Milford Sound, South Island
Milford Sound, New Zealand’s most famous travel destination, and a destination that Rudyard Kipling once called “the eighth Wonder of the World,” is a fjord in the south western part of the South Island of New Zealand.
15 kilometers inland from the Tasman Sea, the mouth of the fjord is surrounded by steep rock faces that rise over 1,200 meters (3,900 feet). Some of the most imposing peaks include The Elephant, a peak that resembles an Elephant’s head and rises 1,517 meters (4,977 feet) and The Lion, which resembles a crouching lion and rises 1,302 meters (4,272 feet). There are also two permanent waterfalls, and multiple temporary waterfalls, especially when it rains.
The combination of Milford Sound’s peaks, waterfalls, local wildlife including crested penguins, bottlenose dolphins and various species of birds, and activities like boat cruises, sea kayaking, diving or flightseeing, make Milford Sound a truly unforgettable experience.
