Milford

Milford sound was amazing, we booked an early morning cruise out to the tasman sea which took us past amazing water falls, seals, and included a visit to an underwater observatory. As it was early morning, it was bloody cold, but well worth it. They reckon Milford has over two hundred days of rain every year but we were lucky and had clear blue skies to enhance the mountains which climb up either side of the sound. The whole area is called fiordland, and has lots of other sounds, but milford is the most famous, and accesible, it's not hard to see why.
