Before departing Te Anau, be aware to fulfil your oil tank,
I need to emphasize this point again. There is no petrol station on the way and
in Milford Sound, and you even cannot call for help because there is weak or no
wireless signals on the way…I was almost stranded on the road on my way back.
Another tip is:
make sure you do your supermarket shop before you arrive in
Milford Sound as there are no grocery supplies available in Milford.
Milford Sound is breathtaking and stunning place to tourist.
There is a long tunnel to drive through
prior to approaching Milford Sound. You have to wait for traffic light before
entering the tunnel. The scene around the tunnel is quite beautiful and many
people take a break stopping before the tunnel and enjoy the view. There are
not so many accommodations in Milford Sound, it is a small village (actually
cannot be called a town). This is the
place we live and I suggest booking a place in advance due to limited accommodations
and Milford sound’s popularity.
Milford Sound Lodge
After arriving the lodge, the reception helped us order Juicy
lucy Boat cruises service, it’s $45 each in the morning session from 9:15am, the
journey lasted about 1 hour. This is an
excellent way to experience the Sound and the cruise can take you around almost
each corner and you can enjoy many water falls in a close distance.
