 The
power
of
Fiordland’s
scenery
never
fails
to
enthral
travellers.
Waterfalls
tumble
hundreds
of
metres
into
massive
fiords;
ancient
rainforest
clings
impossibly
to
the
mountains;
shimmering
lakes
and
granite
peaks
look
the
same
today
as
they
did
a
thousand
years
ago. |
|
|
|
Fiordland
was
well
known
to
Maori,
who
have
many
legends
recounting
its
formation
and
naming.
Demi-god
Tute
Rakiwhanoa
is
said
to
have
carved
the
rugged
landscape
from
formless
rock,
hewing
out
the
steep
sided
valleys
with
his
adzes. |
|
|
|
From
the
lakeside
townships
of
Te
Anau
and
Manapouri,
you
can
experience
Fiordland
in
the
way
that
suits
your
travelling
style.
Adventurers
can
embark
on
kayaking
tours
of
the
lakes
and
fiords;
hikers
have
access
to a
choice
of
well
known
walking
challenges;
scenery
lovers
can
catch
a
scenic
flight
or
enjoy
lake
and
fiord
cruises;
divers
can
discover
rare
black
corals
growing
just
beneath
the
water’s
surface. |

Magnificent
Milford
Sound
Described
by
Rudyard
Kipling
as
the
‘Eighth
Wonder
of
the
World’
Milford
Sound
is
always
spectacular.
Feel
the
mist
of
the
waterfalls,
look
for
seals
on
the
rocks
and
marvel
at
the
steep
sides
of
the
fiord.

The
deepest
fiord
At
421
metres,
Doubtful
Sound
is
the
deepest
of
New
Zealand’s
fiords.
It’s
a
haven
for
nature,
with
resident
bottlenose
dolphins,
fur
seals
and
penguins.
Kayak
tours
and
eco-cruises
reveal
the
mysteries
of
the
fiord. |

Zealand’s

those
with
less
time,
