Understand

Milford Sound is really a fiord, having been carved by a glacier.

Like the rest of Fiordland, Milford Sound receives a lot of rain. Indeed, some tour operators argue that the sound is best seen on a rainy day as all the waterfalls can be seen in their full glory.

Wear rainwear and carry an umbrella to protect photographic equipment.

Get In

By Air

There are a number of flightseeing operators that fly light aircraft and helicopters into Milford Sound from Queenstown or Te Anau.

Amateur fliers should have undertaken special mountain flying training before attempting to fly into Milford Sound airstrip. There are special air traffic procedures to be followed.

By Car

From Te Anau, it is 120 km on State Highway 94 Allow plenty of time, at least 2-3 hours from Te Anau, when travelling to Milford Sound by car. The road winds through some of the most spectacular scenery in New Zealand as it climbs up to the Homer Tunnel. The Homer Tunnel is a single lane tunnel, although it has been fitted with traffic lights in 2004, you may still experience a wait while opposing traffic clears the tunnel. You may also want to break your journey along the road to take photographs or investigate scenic spots.

By Bus

Possibly the nicest way to get to Milford Sound is to take a tour bus from Queenstown or Te Anau. There are daily services.
