The Fjordland is the most dramatic and beautiful part of New
Zealand, a region of waterfalls and misty virgin forests, snow-clad
mountains and towering granite peaks, crystal clear lakes, rivers
and remote fjords.
The Fjordland National Park encompasses exquisite scenery and
astounding natural splendour with some of the best walking tracks
in the world. It is the largest national park in the country
stretching along the southwestern corner of South Island, with a
jagged coastline indented by numerous sounds and inlets.
Milford Sound is one of the most visited and famous sights
within the national park, a spectacular glacier-carved fjord with
waterfalls plummeting down the sheer granite walls into the ocean
below. The walks in the park are world famous and the greatest of
these is the Milford Track, considered to be the finest walk on
earth.
Fjordland National Park can be explored on foot, on a boat
cruise, by sea kayak or on a breathtaking scenic flight over the
fjords, lakes and miles of ice and snow-covered mountains.
