Milford Sound



Milford Sound is a must-see attraction in New Zealand. Its is located in the biggest national park of New Zealand as is thought to be one of the most spectacular sights in NZ. It is the image you see on all the post cards. It is expensive to go (you have to get a coach for 2 hours and then there's a boat trip) but we found a good deal by not booking with Magic (our bus company) but instead booking with the rival company Kiwi Experience. By doing this, we saved about £20 and got a free hot buffet lunch thrown in. The two hour journey there was very scenic and we stopped along the way to take photos of glaciers, avalanches and waterfalls. Then, when we got to Milford Sound we got on a boat that took us out into the fjords and we had a buffet and guided tour of the area. We saw seals and we went to an underwater observatory where we saw black coral which apparently is very rare and Milford Sound is the only place where you can see it at such a shallow depth. There is not much else to say about Milford Sound, the pictures speak for themselves. So here is a Facebook album full of them: Milford Sound
