GETTING THERE
- The journey to Milford Sound via the famous Milford Road is just as remarkable as the destination itself.
- Milford Sound is around 5-6 hours (one-way) from Queenstown and around 3 hours from Te Anau.
- If you are self-driving from Queenstown, try to stay overnight in Te Anau as the trip to Milford and back from Queenstown can get very tiring. Also, leave plenty of time to stop at the many scenic trails and lookouts along the way.
