Milford Sound well deserves the title of New Zealand's number one tourist location. It is a stunning fjord in the South Island of New Zealand in the Fiordland region of the country. It is a must-sees for any tourist. If you are in the country, take the time to go on a cruise of the fjord - there are many operators available, with several tour buses leaving daily from Te Anau and Queenstown. As the crow (or tourist) flies, it is just a short hop over a few mountains from Queenstown but if the crow is travelling by bus then it's a 300km road trip that takes you via Te Anau and will occupy your whole day and evening.
After dreaming of it for many years, I finally took a cruise of Milford Sound in April 2009. Named after Milford Haven in South Wales, it is nothing like its namesake, although very similar to the fjords I have seen in Norway ...
Advantages: Great sound, sturdy, easy to use Disadvantages: Only runs off mains power
Before I got my iPod and sounddock, I was one of those who refuses to subscribe to the technological revolution. Prefering hi-fi and compact disc to the digital music phenomenon. However, within a week (once I'd worked out how to use it), I was hooked on my iPod and once I got the sound-dock, there was no turning back. I think it's fairly safe to say that the era of compact disc players and tape decks is over... The only reason I still have a normal cd player in my house is to listen to the radio, and those few albums that I just haven't got around to putting on my iPod yet.
The Bose sound-dock is a piece of mastery in the area of audio technology. Beautiful, sleek and streamlined; it's large frontal speaker provides both volume and sound quality. The music I play on the sound-dock sounds almost incomparably better than CDs ...
Advantages: Beautifully conserved Disadvantages: Hard to reach
So there you are, having travelled nearly the full length of New Zealand north to south, arriving at Queenstown or Te Anau with just one day left of your holiday. What, apart from cursing your stupidity at not having allowed yourself more time, are you going to do with it?
Most people would say "Visit Milford Sound," and, for all I know, they might be right. Milford is the most famous of the many Sounds - fjords - that carve deep furrows into the mountainous coastline of Fiordland National Park (see maps below). You can reach Milford by car or by coach, or by helicopter from Queenstown, saving yourself a four hour drive each way. You can even - if you apply early for one of the limited number of permits - spend a few days hiking to it along the reputedly spectacular Milford Track. Once arrived, there are many boats that ...
