Fiordland & Milford Sound, New Zealand

Carved by glaciers and drenched in temperate rainforest, Fiordland is New Zealand's wildest corner, where the sheer granite walls and plunging waterfalls of Milford Sound rise straight out of black tidal water. Lakeside Te Anau is the refined base camp for scenic flights, dawn kayak crossings and the Milford and Kepler Tracks.
