Milford Sound (Piopiotahi)

Make sure to take a cruise on the fiord!

First of all, iconic Milford Sound (Piopiotahi) isn’t a sound; it’s a fiord, carved out by glacial ice. Whatever! - it sure is magnificent, and chances are, you’ve been looking at images of it and Mitre Peak (1694m) all the way here.

It’s 16km from the Visitor Centre & Boat Terminal (this entry’s map location) at Milford out to the Tasman Sea and it would be a major miss not to take a cruise. There are plenty of options from massive boats run by big operators down to small, more personal experiences with the little guys. Avoid the 12.30-2pm period for cruise departures if you can - buses arrive on datytrips from Queenstown in this period, disgorging huge numbers of passengers on 13-hour daytrips from Queenstown.
