This park is part of the South Westland World
Heritage area and is New Zealand's
largest national park and one of the largest in the world. The
scenery in Fiordland is nothing short of stunning, with deep fiords,
steep mountains, raging waterfalls, and lush rain forests. Fiordland is home to Milford Sound described by Rudyard Kipling as the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’ and
Doubtful Sound which many say is even more spectacular. Another major
attraction are the spectacular walks including the world famous Milford Track,
which was billed as the finest walk in the world in the early twentieth
century by the London Spectator. That said, there are a number of walks
here that rival the Milford, including the Routeburn and Kepler. In addition to the walks, there is the mighty Sutherland Falls
which is one of thousands of waterfalls in the park, and one of the
highest in the world, amazing diving, dolphins, seals, and rare bird
life. If all this doesn't entice you, then there is also Mitre Peak a mountain that rises to the staggering height of 1 mile straight out of the ocean.
