Things to do in Fiordland

Fiordland National Park covers a vast, almost roadless corner of the South Island, where glaciers carved deep fiords into the mountains. Milford Sound, with its waterfalls and the peak of Mitre Peak, is the most famous; Doubtful Sound is bigger, quieter and harder to reach.

The small lakeside town of Te Anau is the base for all of it. From its waterfront, boats cross Lake Te Anau to the western shore, where a short walk leads into limestone caves lit by thousands of glowworms.
