Milford Sound is a unique and truly magical, even when it rains. Actually, especially when it rains. In fact, Milford is one of the wettest places in earth with an average of 182 rainfall days per year. Once the rain comes, the mountains are covered in hundreds of temporary waterfalls spilling down from the mists.We recommend staying in Te Anau before visiting Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound, if you are self driving. (Because of Milford Sound's ecological and cultural significance, free camping is not allowed anywhere in the area, and there is only one lodge).We have now made it possible to explore this famous track in just a day, without the need to stay in backcountry huts or carry a heavy pack. Explore on foot after a scenic drive to Milford or water taxi ride up Lake Te Anau and soak up the Fiordland magic on one of our 10km easy-going return day walks. Our group of 50 walkers would give them all a reference in a heartbeat. The sheer beauty of the scenery wins out in the end, but the competition it faced from other facets of the walk was as stiff as the wind at the top of the pass. If your legs are up to it, don't miss it! Milford Track is amazing.
