Today, you meander into the wilderness towards arguably the country's most spectacular sight; Milford Sound. It's a memorable journey, so keep the camera ready and enjoy the continual vistas through your coach's transparent ceilings. Snow clings to mountain passes, blue lakes reflect rain forest and fertile valleys, and each corner takes you further into Fiordland National Park.
Contrary to how it sounds, Milford Sound is a cove and not a sound. Cliffs rise vertically from the calm water, standing a mile above your head and gazing down on your luxury cruise ship. Sail out towards the Tasman Sea and rock your head back to appreciate the scale, and then savor the close-ups on offer during this two-hour cruise. This area is New Zealand at its otherworldly best; waterfalls tumble and flicker with spray, dolphins share the water with seals, and pristine reflections fill the sea. A mysterious mist often hangs in the inlet, increasing the intrigue of your trip. Visit on a clear day, and it's equally hypnotic, a 360-degree panorama greeting you at all times.
