The golden glow of the setting sun reflects off the mountains, painting the fleeting clouds in shades of orange and pink. The partly unveiled mountains stand majestically and are mirrored in the calm waters. This was one of those moments when the raw beauty of Milford Sound was on display, evolving with each passing second and reaching sublime tranquillity at sunset. Due to the rugged terrain, this happens quickly, and the sky settles into darkness moments later.

When weather systems pass through Milford Sound, isolated misty rain falls softly, and low clouds wrap around the mountainous terrain, transforming it into a scene of epic grandeur. Often hailed as the eighth wonder of the world, its breathtaking beauty reaches new heights under these dramatic conditions and changes throughout the day.

Strolling along the Cleddau River, surrounded by mountains and rainforest and moss-covered rocks, feels like stepping into another world. The journey from Te Anau is mesmerising, but nothing compares to the awe-inspiring beauty of New Zealand`s Fiordland.
