Fiordlands Holidays
Fiordlands holidaysin South Island
Fiordland is one of New Zealand's most dramatic and beautiful regions. Snowy peaks, alpine lakes and primeval forests set the scene for mighty Fiordland National Park, a World Heritage Site encompassing Milford and Doubtful Sounds.
Doubtful Sound's misty mountains and cascading waterfalls - including Browne Falls, one of the country's tallest - feel straight out of The Lord of the Rings, featuring rare Fiordland crested penguins, dolphins and fur seals.
Milford Sound's towering cliffs and dark waters centre on Mitre Peak, alongside Lady Bowen and Stirling Falls, the only two that flow year-round, with dolphins often greeting passing kayakers.

Fiordlands Travel Guide
Best time to go
Both Queenstown and Fiordland are year round destinations, although the weather is very changeable so it will depend on the experience you are looking for. During summer (December to February) expect long sunny days so perfect for hiking and many of the activities while winter months (June-August) bring perfect skiing and snowboarding conditions. Autumn and winter months are when the wildlife are more active, so great if you’re visiting Milford Sound, while in spring as the snow melts the waterfalls are at their most spectacular.
Travel Information
Te Anau, the gateway to Fiordland, is around 2 hours drive from Queenstown.
