The sheer scale of the towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and serene, mirror-like waters left me in awe. The boat cruise through the sound was unforgettable—getting up close to the waterfalls and spotting seals lounging on the rocks was a magical experience. The rain even added to the charm, as it brought dozens of temporary waterfalls cascading down the cliffs. The journey to Milford Sound itself, through the Fiordland National Park, was equally stunning, with lush rainforests, dramatic mountain passes, and serene lakes along the way. It’s no wonder Rudyard Kipling called it the "eighth wonder of the world." A must-visit for anyone traveling to New Zealand—just be sure to bring a rain jacket and a camera!
