A fiord so dramatic that Rudyard Kipling called it the eighth wonder of the world: granite walls, waterfalls, and silence that rewires your brain.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Leave No Trace
New Zealand takes conservation seriously. Pack out all rubbish, stay on marked tracks, and never feed wildlife. Fiordland is a UNESCO World Heritage Area, so treat it with the respect it deserves.
Kea Etiquette
Kea (alpine parrots) at the Homer Tunnel are incredibly intelligent and curious. Never feed them, as human food is harmful. Secure all belongings as they will dismantle rubber seals, backpacks, and anything colourful.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Milford Sound travel guide.
