This is the day for explorers. It starts on the Milford Road, where two hours with your driver-guide carry you from Te Anau’s lakefront to the Homer Tunnel and down into the fiord. On the water, the Discover More Cruise gives you the longest look at Piopiotahi there is, the full length to the Tasman Sea and back, a Nature Guide beside you, picnic lunch in hand.
The finale rewrites everything you’ve just seen. With Te Anau Helicopters you rise out of Milford Sound and cross the roadless heart of Fiordland National Park, the scale of the morning’s valleys suddenly obvious from above, before touching down back in Te Anau, a whole national park behind you and the evening still ahead.
