2024 Milford Sound Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

Visiting Milford Sound felt like stepping into a magical world straight out of a storybook. Towering cliffs surrounded us, with waterfalls cascading down like shimmering ribbons. The air was crisp, and the sound of waves filled the air. Looking out at the waters and feeling the cool ocean breeze blowing over me, a sense of freedom and liberation wash over me. The vastness of Milford Sound made me marvel at the beauty of God's creation. Walking along the shoreline, I was amazed at the sheer beauty of nature. The mountains seemed to stretch into the sky, their white peaks disappearing into the clouds. #WinHKFlight #winhkflight I want to visit Hong Kong to explore its mix of ancient traditions and modern innovations. The bustling city streets, vibrant markets, and delicious food promise an exciting adventure full of new experiences and discoveries.

Milford Sound offers breathtaking views of nature - from mountain ranges to glaciers and a number of waterfalls. You will not run out of great views. The tours also offer lunch buffet to complement with the experience. RealNZ and Southern Discoveries are two of the cruise providers in Milford Sound. You can arrange a package to pick you up from Queenstown and have a great journey to Milford Sound.

3 days and over 50000 steps was all it took to experience one of the most spectacular views I have seen. Nestled in the south-west corner of New Zealand's South Island is a not-so hidden gem. We have visited Milford Sound before by car (the homer tunnel is an amazing example of engineering and worth a visit as well) but for this trip in 2015 we decided to hike in to the sound. Led by the wonderfull team at Holyford Wilderness Experience this was a trip like no other. We were well taken care of with the meals provided as outstanding as the scenery we took in. The lodges were comfortable and it was nice to have hot running water for showers. This trip started my love of hiking but i must admit it was certainly more luxurious than any other hike I've completed since. #gooutside #naturalwonders

Getting There - You can either choose to follow a tour group or self-drive. Self-drive from Queenstown will be approximate 4-5 hours. Roads to Milford Sound are steep with numerous turns. Can do a stopover at Te Anau to get a quick bite and petrol. The Ranch bar and grill will be a good choice where there are a variety of food choices. Attractions - Amazing views of waterfalls and mountains. Good experience despite the long ride. Do check the timing of the cruise tour as number of tours depends on the season. Hotels - There are Lounge near Milford Sound for those who will like to spend the night there. #newzealandtravel #milfordsound #holiday_mood #waterfalls #mountain

Beautiful Milford Sound

Drove in and went on the cruise tour. Mesmerising nature scenic views. Lots of waterfalls. Dolphins leading the ferry ship. A hidden gem is the Humboldt Falls. It’s a further drive in past Marian Falls and a short walk in, but the towering waterfall is worth a sight. Been to almost every part of New Zealand and gotta say that Milford Sound is my personal favourite place in New Zealand! Simply magical.

Milford Sound is around 220km away from Queenstown but it took me over 5 and a half hours to get there due to the challenging road conditions and many stretches of their roads have to be travelled on very slow speeds. But still, the journey has been rewarded with beautiful scenery and when you get to Milford Sound, it was worth the long journey. The greatest blessing of them all wasn’t just fulfilling a bucket list of visiting Milford Sound but the greatest blessing was the wonderful, clear, sunny weather when we were there. This is especially so because Milford Sound rains at over 280 days a year.

Along the way, the morning mist shrouds the snow-capped mountains🏔️, waterfalls flow through the mountain valleys, and the rainforest is accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds🐦... If you ask me if the fjord is worth visiting, I would say that the scenery along the way is worth a visit❗️ 📍When traveling from Te Anau to Milford Sound, there are many attractions along the way. You can navigate to the following places and stop to explore. 🌟Tutoko Bridge 🌟Monkey Creek 🌟Lake Gunn Nature Walk 🌟Eglinton Valley 🌟Mirror Lakes ⚠️【Tips】 1⃣️There is no signal along the way, so you need to download Google offline maps in advance. 2⃣️There are no gas stations along the way, so make sure to fill up in Te Anau. 3⃣️There is a coffee cart at the entrance of Mirror Lakes, and if you have time, you can stop for a coffee break, but it only sells in the early morning, and when we returned at noon, it was already gone.

Long 3-4hr bus ride from Queenstown is the Milford Sound Scenic Tour. It was a long ride but totally worth it. Breathtaking views and good food! A must try!!!

Our trip to the North and South Islands of New Zealand in September 2024. We had a different hire car on both islands and did three amazing train trips and an overnight cruise on Milford Sound. Every hotel was prebooked and we had fun in Queenstown at the -5C bar. we saw lots of snow, which I love. New Zealand is awesome for a touring holiday. It is not a place to only have one base, travelling the three train trips and the Milford Sound were the highlights. The only downside is that it is so expensive

#traveldiaries #100waysoftravel #newzealand Milford sound is popular among tourists and a must-go place in New Zealand because of its breathtaking fjord. Milford sound is known to be the wettest inhabited place in New Zealand but do take note that it is a long drive from Queenstown (about 4 hours drive). I booked a milford sound cruise to see the waterfalls and the seals. It is amazing and luck that I managed to catch a school of dolphins frolicking in the water as well! That totally made my day! Pro tip: if you dont like getting wet, do not stay outdoors for the last waterfall! The cruise gets close to the last waterfall and one can feel the water force!

One of the best trips to do in Queenstown New Zealand. What a breathtaking experience 😍😍😍😍😍. Luxurious bus ride with glass roof to the Fiordland was equally epic. We had multiple stops along the way at a cafe and different sites for views and pictures. Overall: EPIC ❤️
