Milford Sound is located on the south-west coast of the South Island of New Zealand, in the area know as Fiordland.
The scenery is rather grand with near vertical mountains rising straight from the sound. If you visit Milford Sound, be sure to take the boat trip out to the mouth of the sound. On the way to Milford, you'll pass through the homer tunnel set amid glacier scraped landscape, then down the Cleddau Valley in which you must pause for a look at the Chasm. There is an excellent visitor terminal at the harbour. I'd recommend taking a bus from Te Anau, so you'll be free to enjoy the scenery. enjoy
