Milford Sound Tour
Milford Sound AND the drive to get there was a great way to end our trip to New Zealand.

We researched whether to do Doubtful Sound or Milford Sound and in the end, we did both. They are each majestic in their own way.
Te Anau and Queenstown are both gateway communities to Fiordland. Te Anau is smaller and quieter, and closer to Doubtful and Milford Sounds; Queenstown is larger, busier, and has other adventure activities.
This tour was THE reason we came to Dunedin: To see penguins in the wild. And we did.
Dunedin was a pleasant surprise. We came here for the Otago peninsula and found the city itself enjoyable too.
The TranzAlpine train journey was one our must-dos in New Zealand. It runs between Christchurch on the east coast and Greymouth on the west coast.
We did a section of the Abel Tasman track. It’s one of the easier and more accessible of New Zealand’s Great Walks. And the area is known for good weather.
WOW stands for World of WearableArt. The WOW Museum held wearable art winners of an annual international contest here in New Zealand. It also had a lot of fabulous classic cars.
Nelson is pleasant town close to Abel Tasman park and with a (now closed) interesting museum.
