Discover the Breathtaking Beauty of Milford Sound (Piopiotahi) New Zealand

with Skyraiders Travel and Tours

Tucked away in the heart of New Zealand’s South Island lies a place that looks like it was sculpted by the gods—Milford Sound, or Piopiotahi as it’s known in the native Māori language. Located within the vast Te Wāhipounamu World Heritage Site, this 10-mile-long fjord is surrounded by towering peaks, cascading waterfalls, lush rainforests, and mysterious mists. It’s no wonder that Milford Sound is often hailed as “the most beautiful place in New Zealand.”

Found in the Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound is one of four protected areas within Te Wāhipounamu, an expansive 10,000-square-mile UNESCO-listed region celebrated for its untouched landscapes and dramatic terrain. Accessible via the scenic Milford Road or by air from Queenstown, the journey to Milford Sound is almost as magnificent as the destination itself—winding through alpine valleys, mirror-like lakes, and lush native forests.

🌧️ Rain or Shine—It’s Magical

Milford Sound is one of the wettest places in the world, and that’s actually part of its charm. The frequent rain showers feed hundreds of temporary waterfalls that rush down the cliffs—creating a constantly evolving scene of wild, natural beauty. Among the permanent falls, Stirling Falls and Bowen Falls are favorites for visitors and photographers alike.

🛥️ Explore by Water, Air, or Foot

From boat cruises gliding past seals and dolphins, to kayaking close to waterfalls, or even scenic flights offering a bird’s eye view of this natural masterpiece—Milford Sound is a paradise for adventurers and nature lovers alike.
