Milford Sound Tours & Trips
Imagine landing in Queenstown, where the lake sits beneath sharp peaks and adventure seems to hover in the air. The road toward Milford Sound cuts through Fiordland’s deep valleys before opening onto dark, still water and sheer cliffs. Up the coast, Franz Josef Glacier brings a colder, alpine feel, with icy trails and helicopter flights over the ice. This is a simply stunning place.

I didn't realise the days would be so much sitting in coaches. Maybe instead of free days we could move closer to a destination, have half free and a shorter travel next day.
