Your tour starts in stunning idyllic town of Te Anau, after maybe meeting some of the local animals or wildlife we continue along the lake. Stopping at Te Anau Downs the starting point for the Milford Track you will be able to hear the stories and admire the views.

Leaving Te Anau and entering Fiordland National Park we stop in Eglinton Valley. With views worthy of Lord of the Rings this valley follows the path of an ancient glacier through Fiordland, one of the first major attractions as you enter the park. It really sets the scene for a journey that only get more impressive the deeper you get.

Notre prochaine étape de cette aventure épique est Mirror Lakes, pour une courte promenade à la découverte des célèbres reflets des monts Earl. Choisissez le bon jour, prenez une belle photo et personne ne saura vous dire quel est le bon sens pour la photo.

Named after a famous explorer and popular for fishing, often we will stop at Lake Gunn for some photos and to enjoy the peace. Hollyford River & Falls Creek – A short drive away we start passing the Hollyford River, a gorgeous and powerful river full of large boulders and rapids. Feeding into the river at Falls Creek is the first of our extremely impressive waterfalls of the area, one of many to come.

Nous nous arrêterons ensuite pour admirer la vue imprenable sur la ligne de partage des eaux des Alpes du Sud, près du départ du Routeburn Track. Sur place, le guide vous racontera l'histoire des anciens explorateurs maoris.

Climbing in altitude we go deeper into the Darran Mountains where the views require another stop to admire and take photos. We are also entering the area where Kea (the world largest alpine parrot) likes to live. Start keeping an eye out for these large, cheeky and colourful birds that never fail to thrill and entertain when found.

To make our way back down towards the sea we enter the mind-blowing, hand-built Homer Tunnel while hearing the incredible history and stories. Emerging from the tunnel the valley descends sharply down towards Milford Sound and on a rainy-day hundreds of waterfalls can be seen cascading down the mountain side.

Following the valleys to the sea we arrive at Milford Sound where you will board your cruise! The smaller boat means you get closer to the wildlife and nature (including the New Zealand fur seals basking on the rocks), massive rock faces rising for hundreds of meters out of the sea and the waterfalls cascading from the ancient rainforest high in the mountains. This cruise is unbeatable.

Lors de la croisière en bateau, vous pourrez vous émerveiller devant l'impressionnant Mitre Peak, la montagne emblématique de Milford Sound, avec son pic triangulaire escarpé s'élevant au-dessus des eaux réfléchissantes du Milford Sound.

Sadly we must start to head back to Te Anau but your day is not over with a fully guided return trip and many stops and breaks along the way.
