One of the absolute highlights of our South Island Grand Hikes tour is soaking in the breathtaking beauty of Milford Sound, nestled deep within Fiordland National Park.

"It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves."
– Sir Edmund Hillary

Wow — did you know it’s been nearly 72 years since Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay stood on top of the world, conquering Mount Everest — and inspiring generations of adventurers to follow?

They made history on 29 May 1953 — a moment that still inspires adventurers today.
