Fiordland

Fiordland's West Coast is indented by 14 fiords along its 215 km of coastline. Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound are the most visited - and they are really fiords, not sounds.

October to April are the peak periods for tourism and it is very important to book your accommodation and activities in advance. Te Anau is often busy in February. There are times over the summer months when accommodation is completely booked out.

• Te Anau Accommodation
• Tours from Queenstown to Milford Sound - unless you have a lot of time, organised tours are the best way to see this region. Tours from Queenstown range from a quick tour by helicopter to coach and cruise packages. Some packages include a cruise.
