Meet Fiordland's cheekiest locals. ๐Ÿ’š

Kea are the world's only alpine parrot, famous for their intelligence, curiosity and habit of investigating just about anything that catches their attention.

If one decides to inspect our coach or pop over to say hello, enjoy the encounter from a respectful distance and remember not to feed them.

Around here, you never quite know who you'll meet along the way.

Some views are worth taking to the skies for. โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

Fly to Milford Sound with our partners at Glenorchy Air and watch braided rivers, alpine lakes, glaciers and the Southern Alps unfold beneath you, all from your guaranteed window seat.

Then swap the skies for the water on a Milford Sound Nature Cruise, getting up close to towering waterfalls and keeping watch for the local wildlife, before taking to the air once more for the spectacular journey back to Queenstown.

One unforgettable adventure. Two incredible perspectives.

Sometimes all you can do is stop and stare. ๐Ÿ’ง

There is something humbling about watching water thunder down the towering cliffs of Milford Sound. Nature at its most powerful, and most beautiful.

Walking season is back. ๐Ÿฅพ๐ŸŒฟ

Step into the lush native forest of the world-famous Milford Track and follow the trail from Sandfly Point to the spectacular Giant Gate Falls.

With 11 kilometres to explore at your own pace, there's plenty of time to listen for native birds, wander beneath ancient forest and stop to take in the scenery along the way.

Pair your walk with a Milford Sound Nature Cruise and experience this extraordinary corner of Fiordland from land and water.
