Setting off from Queenstown, you'll embark on a breathtaking journey to Milford Sound / Piopiotahi. Your adventure begins over the rugged backcountry of Central Otago. As you soar westward, you'll witness the majestic glacial-fed rivers merging into the pristine waters of Lake Whakatipu. Upon entering Fiordland National Park, prepare to be captivated by an untouched world of towering peaks and lush valleys, where mountains majestically meet the sea. This awe-inspiring scenery is forged by the rapid retreat of glaciers.

Get up close to numerous waterfalls, encounter Fiordland’s wildlife, and capture the serenity of this picturesque location.
