Milford Sound, known as the unofficial 8th Wonder of the World, is one of my favourite places in New Zealand and one of the countries most stunning natural attractions. Located in the heart of Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound is home to rugged landscapes, mountain peaks, fiords, waterfalls, and some of the best hiking tracks in the world. I’m a big, max-out-your-24-hours kind of traveler, so it’s not often I leave a place feeling as though my time there is unfinished. But I remember driving away from Fiordland, unable to take my eyes away from the tops of her mountains, feeling lucky to live in New Zealand and knowing I’d be back for more. However, most people only get the chance to visit Milford Sound once in their lifetime. So, I want to help you make the most of it! I am a lover of hiking and this guide reflects it! You'll find two walks included that take 3 hours each. If you don't enjoy the outdoors, that's okay too! Feel free to omit them and choose another activity from my list at the end. This itinerary is designed to be done in a campervan and does include driving. I HIGHLY recommend travelling New Zealand by campervan to stay in some of the most incredible places. BUT I'll also give you hotel recommendations too, just in case you're not into van-life. In this guide, you'll find: • An overview of Milford Sound • Typical costs and how much I spent on my trip • The best road trip stops on your drive from Queenstown • Top rated accomodation and my favourite campsites • Custom interactive maps full of all the important locations like campsites, supermarkets, airports and viewpoints on top of your full itinerary • Local tips and inspiration, must-visit spots, hiking tracks, bucket list activities and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.  • Much, much more. This guide is your one-stop shop for everything you need to plan the ultimate New Zealand adventure! You can follow this guide exactly for an amazing itinerary or combine it with your own research to create the trip of your dreams. Please tag me in the photos and videos you take!
