Milford Sound Essentials

Milford Sound, or Piopiotahi, is a glaciated fjord within Fiordland National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage site. This collection features the 1,692-meter Mitre Peak and permanent waterfalls like the 162-meter Bowen Falls and 155-meter Stirling Falls. The area is home to New Zealand fur seals and the Milford Discovery Centre, which houses the country's only floating underwater observatory. Glacial features like the Pembroke Glacier and distinct rock formations including The Lion and The Elephant define this remote wilderness landscape.
