mountain is the face of Fiordland. Instantly recognisable, it rises spectacularly to 1692m above Milford Sound.
Mitre Peak Cruises Spend a spectacular two-and-a-half hours in one of the world’s most stunning environs. The captain will ensure you don’t miss a thing and you’ll get daringly close to an enormous waterfall. Sightseeing Flights Views from above, by either plane or helicopter are exemplary and memorable.

kayaking on the dark and mysterious waters of Milford Sound, part of a Southern Discoveries’ package that includes a cruise, kayaking, picnic lunch and the Underwater Observatory.
Black Coral Black corals are usually deep-sea species, but in Fiordland an abundance grows at depths of only 10m. New Zealand’s Milford Sound/Piopiotahi marine reserve is the best place to see it. Local companies such as Descend run scuba diving tours. Couch Tours Comfortable coaches depart Queenstown or Te Anau followed by a cruise on the water. This is a long day: 12.5 hours from Queenstown, seven from Te Anau.
