Milford Sound

I can’t stop saying that everywhere I went was beautiful. Apologies in advance, since this will be one of those spots as well. Milford Sound is a beautiful Fiordland group. Take a boat trip to go through the group and you may see dolphins or whales. Depending on the season of course.

So, as I said, Milford Sound is a Fiordland group on the Southern Island of New Zealand. You can find these fiords on the west coast of the island and see the beautiful views along the sea. It may be an intense ride, but it’s worth it. 

Keep your eyes open and you can see whales, dolphins and/or seals. We saw them and the dolphins were HUGE. I’ve seen some in my life and they’ve never been this big. It was an amazing experience. We also saw seals and they were so cute, haha. Unfortunately no whales for us, but we went off season in this area. If you want to see some whales all year round, you should go visit Kaikoura on the south side of the island.

Besides amazing wildlife, Milford Sound offers beautiful waterfalls. They’re so big and impressive, just like everything on this island to be honest. Make sure to enjoy the view at al times, because waterfalls are everywhere. 
I’ve heard Milford Sound is even more beautiful right after it rained. When it did rain short before you visit the area there are hundreds of waterfalls. We already saw a lot and we had clear, blue sky, so I do hope it will rain a little before you visit it.
