THINGS YOU CAN’T MISS IN FIORDLAND NATIONAL PARK
- Milford Sound
-
- Activities:Boat cruises during the day or overnight
- Kayaking
- Diving
- Scenic flights
- Doubtful Sound
- Like other fiords in the area, Doubtful Sound contains two distinct layers of water that don't mix. The top few meters is fresh water, fed by runoff from the surrounding mountains.
- Doubtful Sound is the deepest of New Zealand’s fiords. It’s a haven for nature, with resident bottlenose dolphins, fur seals and penguins.
- Do part or all of a Great Walk
- As New Zealand’s largest national park, it encompasses three of the 10 Great Walks. These tracks have been chosen for their outstanding beauty. Just remember, it likes to rain in Fiordland so be prepared!
- Te Anau
- Many backpackers use Te Anau as a base for doing one of the Great Walks or the Hollyford, Greenston, Caples and Dusky Tracks – there is a reason why Te Anau is the “Walking Capital of New Zealand”. The choice of cafes also give a good excuse for a coffee break and a bite to eat.
- Tuatapere
- To go off the beaten track and explore the southern end of the Fiordland National Park, consider basing yourself in the town of Tuatapere. Activity providers can connect you to the Humpridge Track, a multi-day excursion of the Fiordland coastline with more luxurious accommodations than what’s available on Great Walks.
