Itinéraire
Nous longeons les superbes rives du lac Wakatipu, serpentant à travers des paysages alpins spectaculaires. Votre Guide partagera des idées fascinantes sur l'aventure à venir et vous indiquera quelques joyaux cachés à anticiper.
En traversant Southland, admirez les grands espaces et les terres agricoles luxuriantes. Votre guide vous donnera un aperçu du mode de vie agricole local et de la façon dont cette région joue un rôle clé dans l’agriculture néo-zélandaise.
Nous arrivons à Te Anau, souvent appelée la porte d'entrée du parc national Fiordland, où nous faisons une courte pause pour déguster un café et nous dégourdir les jambes. Rafraîchis, nous poursuivons notre voyage vers le Milford Sound à couper le souffle. En passant devant Te Anau Downs, vous aurez une vue sur le lac jusqu'au point de départ de la légendaire Milford Track. Votre Guide donnera vie à l’histoire du sentier, partageant des histoires de ses premiers explorateurs et de sa place parmi les grandes promenades du monde.
Nous entrons officiellement dans le parc national du Fiordland, classé au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, et le paysage change instantanément. Forêt tropicale dense, hêtres recouverts de mousse et pics imposants nous accueillent dans ce désert reculé.
Arrêtez-vous et sortez dans l'étendue grande ouverte d'Eglinton Valley. Cette impressionnante vallée glaciaire, avec son sol plat et ses murs montagneux, offre une occasion de photographie inoubliable.
Faites une courte promenade pour voir les lacs Mirror parfaitement tranquilles, célèbres pour leurs reflets en verre des montagnes Earl. Par temps clair, c’est le rêve d’un photographe.
Non loin le long de la route, nous suivons le cours de la rivière Hollyford, ses eaux claires dégringolant sur des blocs massifs et fonçant à travers des rapides. À Falls Creek, nous avons droit à la première des nombreuses cascades spectaculaires de la région.
Voyage à travers l'emblématique tunnel Homère, creusé à la main à travers la roche solide. Apprenez l'histoire fascinante de cet exploit d'ingénierie alors que nous nous préparons à descendre dans la spectaculaire vallée de Cleddau. Sortant du tunnel, la route serpente dans une vallée glaciaire encaissée. Les jours de pluie, les falaises s’animent de centaines de cascades – un spectacle magique et inoubliable.

Katie was our guide for a family of 11 including 3 generations and was great! She took extra care to make sure everyone could see sights she pointed out, was very knowledgeable, and an incredible driver on roads that were sometimes narrow and windy.
Thanks so much for your lovely review! 😊 Katie will be so happy to hear this. We're glad she helped make the trip enjoyable for everyone, and that the whole family had such a great time exploring with us!
I had a really good day out to Milford sounds. Tom was helpful and showed us lots of views along the drive there as well as history. The boat cruise was also very good looking at stunning views and i would do even in the rain as the waterfalls will be more dramatic. The boat cruise is good value for money to see what’s said to be the 8th wonder of the world!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We're really glad you had a great day in Milford Sound and enjoyed the views along the way. We'll pass your kind words on to Tom 😊
I really enjoyed my tour to Milford Sound with Wild Kiwi. This is something I have had on my list for a few years and I am glad I got to go as part of my Wild Kiwi tour. My guide Tom was very informative. He has a lot of knowledge about NZ in general. We had plenty of scenic photo stops along the way and he had some good tips when it came to the best viewing points on the boat tour. The whole day was faultless. Thanks Tom 👍
Thank you for your review Sarah :) We're glad to hear you had an amazing time with us!
Overall, this was a really, REALLY, long day for all involved, especially Tom (the host and driver). We set off just after 7am and returned around 12-13 hours later, traversing some really scenic parts of New Zealand. It cost around $145 NZ for boat journey itself which seemed to be about the same across the board with a further allotment for transport to, and from, the port, which was covered by being a part of a tour that Wild Kiwi were undertaking. We briefly stopped en route to collect food for the day, however food was made available on the boat itself in a buffet type setup and a cafe/shop was also available to purchase food and souvenirs. Tom displayed an enthusiasm for the local wildlife and shared anecdotes of his time in the country amongst the group, with several of the stops being to observe really scenic areas of the New Zealand countryside.
Thanks for sharing your experience 😊 It certainly makes for a big day, but we're glad you enjoyed the stunning scenery along the way and all the little stops that helped break up the journey.
What a wonderful day. The weather was atrocious with the rain coming down sideways. However, with the rain came the waterfalls which were absolutely stunning. Our tour director for the day was Mairi and she was delightful. She had extensive knowledge of all areas we passed through, told some extraordinary tales of folklore and drove safely throughout the day. Milford Sound was choppy and rough but there's nothing we can do about the weather. All in all a fabulous day and well worth doing.
It was an amazing day trip to Milford Sound. Ben was our tour guide and I knew I would love this guy the moment he greeted us back at the pick up point! He was very insightful and helpful, never reluctant to point out the best cafe or coffee shop to grab a quick drink or spots to take photos
Stoked you had such a good time and got some great local recommendations along the way too :) We appreciate the review!
Would highly recommend this day trip! Out tour guide, Ben, was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic time. The bus was comfortable and we stopped along at lots of beautiful spots. Milford Sound was incredible - a real pinch me moment.
So good to hear 🙌 Milford really is a pinch-me kind of place! Stoked you had such a great day with us.
Had an amazing and beautiful day to Milford Sound with Ben and Wild Kiwi!!
