This place is one of those locations that you must see on your trip to the South Island. near vertical mountains rising straight up out of the water. An absolute beautiful site! The drive towards Milford Sound might be long, but it’s is also quite spectacular.

The road winds it’s up and down over mountains, and through valleys with gorgeous mountains surrounding you along the way. If you don’t have your own transport, it’s no problem. Return trips from Queenstown are advertised everywhere.

For those of you coming here in summer and plan to photograph the place in the evening, bring your repellent. I’ve never quite experienced a swarm of sand flies quite like I have when I was photographing this place. …it was intense, lol!
