Die Milford Sound Cruise

The Milford Track was actually originally to have from Te Anau a way to access to the sea. There, after my 4-day hike arrived, I took advantage of the radiantly beautiful weather to take a boat trip through the fjord until the Tasmanian Sea. On the slopes here is growing temperate rain forest, which is characterized by unknown for us very beautiful tall trees.

There are different providers have almost all the same price, have the largest boats Real Journeys. After the strenuous hike it was very nice to just sit back the 1.5 hours and to enjoy the scenery from the seats. Not to speak of the free filter coffee after sooo long Nescafe!

The trip goes from the terminal, one of the few buildings in Milford and goes out to the Tasman Sea.

The 15-km-long Milford Sound is rightly the most important tourist attraction in the South Island of New Zealand. The up to 1200 m high rock walls are more than impressive.

Here enjoy some of New Zealand fur seals the sun's rays.

The area belongs with up to 8 meters of rainfall each year of the wettest of the earth, and just then we certainly even more interesting because of the formation boating temporary home waterfalls, which can reach a length of 1 km.

There are two permanent waterfalls, Stirling Falls (above) and the Lady Bowen Falls.

Independend of the weather, the Milford Sound is a must see on any trip to New Zealand, alone is the journey is so beautiful that you just can not get enough of this landscape.
