The Fjord, New Zealand. make dreams come true


This extraordinary natural environment offers amazing fjords, spectacular waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks. Ancient rainforests adhere magically to the mountains; waterfalls collide hundreds of meters with large fords; sparkling lakes and granite peaks look the same as thousands of years ago.

Main Attraction

The fjord is a valley formed by melting glaciers that form the letter U which is then covered by sea water. Fourteen fords along the southwestern edge of the South Island were formed in 100,000 years, and details were finally embellished during the last ice age around 10,000 years ago. The Maori connects the formation of this fjord with the mason giant named Tute Rakiwhanoa, who pounded the side of a steep cliff with his ax.
On all sides of this fjord, the amazing waterfall ceased to flow, as a result of very high rainfall in the area, with its abundant water looking for the road to the sea.

Described by Rudyard Kipling as the '8th Wonders of the World', Milford Sound is always amazing - flights and tourist cruises that operate every day reveal its beauty to visitors.

With a depth of 421 meters, Doubtful Sound is the deepest fjord in New Zealand. This is a natural paradise, inhabited by dolphins, fur seals, and penguins.

Two-thirds of the remainder of Fiordland National Park is covered with beech trees and untouched podocarp forests. A network of 500 kilometers of walking trails can be used by visitors to explore the ancient world from mountain peaks, mountain lakes, and marshes lined with moss.

In 1990 Fiordland was listed as a UN World Heritage site and was named Te Wahipounamu - 'green rock place', because most of these areas have valuable minerals.

Accommodation

The Department of Conservation provides more than 50 nature passages in this park. 'Great Walks' cabins are found in Milford, Kepler, and Routeburn lines, and these lodges provide more comfort than ordinary lodgings. Camping with basic facilities is available on other lines - most of them have beds, toilet facilities, and water supply.

Various accommodations can be found in and around the lakeside towns of Te Anau and Manapouri. On Milford Sound, the only fjord that can be accessed by road, there is a backpacker inn.

Important activity

Great Walk and outside area

Three 'Great Walks' in New Zealand can be found in Fiordland National Park. The most famous route (and continues to be the most popular) is the Milford Track, which takes five days to take. The Kepler Track is a circular path that can be taken on foot for four days, while the Routeburn, which crosses Mount Aspiring National Park, usually takes three days to complete. There are still many lesser-known paths, but almost as amazing to explore.

Kayaking and diving in the ocean

Some fords can be explored on a kayak basis, such as on lakes in Te Anau and Manapouri. Diving activities in Fiordland present a rare opportunity to witness deep-sea plants that grow near the surface. Local residents include dolphins, fur seals, and penguins. 

Explore the fjord

Every day a tourist flight and tour guide services send visitors to Milford Sound to explore tours. Nature trekking to difficult-to-reach fjords can be arranged in Te Anau or Manapouri.

Note

  • From the end of October to the end of April, bookings are important to ensure accommodation for accommodation on the Great Walk.
  • Cold temperatures, snow, strong winds, and heavy rain can occur at any time of the year. Prepare and equip yourself.
  • Insect repellents are mandatory items to carry in Fiordland National Park - because the sand flies are very famous.
  • If you are not a person who has experience traveling outdoors, you are strongly encouraged to hire a road guide.
  • You can hunt and fish in the park, but you must have permission.
