Visit Stunning Fiordland 
The scenery in Fiordland New Zealand is among some of the best in the world. If you haven’t visited this popular tourist spot, here are some reasons to do so.
Fiordland is home to many of New Zealand’s natural wonders. 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 features a number of fiords, of which Milford Sound is the most famous. Doubtful Sound is is a place of outstanding natural beauty, home to whales, dolphins and penguins.
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 & fiord cruises; divers can discover rare black corals growing just beneath the water’s surface.
Te Anau is known as the gateway to Fiordland. Many of its popular activities involve leaving the town by bus or coach to visit remotes scenic destinations such as Milford and Doubtful Sounds, and Mount Cook.
Cruising on Lake Manapouri
is a very popular way to appreciate the sights, sounds and smells of the lake’s
forested western inlet shores. Overnight excursions are available in addition
to day trips. Many visitors depart from Manapouri to 
visit Doubtful Sound or
Dusky Sound via coach and boat, for day-trips or multi-day excursions that also
involve cruising on the sounds, with optional diving.
Only 2 hours from Te Anau, the beauty of Milford Sound draws thousands of visitors each day, with between 550,000 and 1 million visitors in total per year. This makes the sound one of New Zealand's most-visited tourist spots, and also the most famous New Zealand tourist destination. Almost all tourists going to the sound also take one of the boat tours which usually last between 1–2 hours. They are offered by several companies, departing from the Milford Sound Visitors' Centre. There is also the option of extended overnight cruises on Milford Sound.
Now is a great time of the year to plan a trip to Fiordland!
