We treated ourselves to a rather pleasant, and completely sandfly free tour boat excursion through the Milford Sound. Milford Sound, dubbed the eighth wonder of the world by Rudyard Kipling, is generally considered New Zealand’s most famous tourist attraction.
Here are a few pics we took on the drive to the sound …
This is called Mirror Lake … for obvious reasons
Christie Falls, one of the many roadside waterfalls along the Milford Hwy in Fiordland National Park
One more of Christie Falls
The road burrows straight through, and under the big rock face in this pic. Quite the engineering marvel …
The Thunder Canary in a pullout about a mile short of the Milford Sound parking lot, with Mount Underwood and Mount Pātuki majestically rising above her
This is aboard our Milford Sound tour boat. AJ is posing in front of a group of lazy New Zealand fur seals
They are super cute and quite small for a seal, about the size of a large California otter
The end of the road, and the head of the Milford Sound!
