Welcome to
the constantly traveling website -
Te Anau and Fiordland Information:
Take the time first
to have a look at the
photos of the Milford Sound area here:
Milford
Photos
You are about to undertake one of the most
exciting and dramatic drives in New Zealand. There are so many sights
you will want to constantly stop and take photos of. Remember there are
a lot of tourist buses coming and going so pay strict attention on the
narrow roads. Homer Tunnel is now lighted so it isn't as daunting as it
once was but you will still feel rather close to passing vehicles
during the drive through. What a scene when you get through. Be sure to
stop and look back and try to capture a photo of the next winding bit
of road below you going on to Milford.
You ave to take a boat ride out into the
Sounds. It is then you really
get the true perspective of the area in size and dimension. When you
get outside the Sounds in the ocean and look back you have to admire
Capt Cook in his sailing ship and wonder how he was able to find the
entrance and then have the audacity to go in.
Here are some information sites on the the
area:

pubs and restaurants and shopping. A walk along the lake makes for time
well spent. Several possibilities are available for boating or even
seaplane flights.

There
are several camp
grounds but only one I recommend. It is on SH94 on the road to Milford
about a kilometre from town.
Fiordland Great Views Holiday Park. The
name says it all and in
addition the facilities and the owners are tops.
