It is with a heavy heart that we departed Queenstown, vowing to come back. We crossed the Waimea Plains on our way to Lake Te Anau, the gateway to the grandeur of Fiordland. From there we travelled onward to Milford Sound through rugged mountains and the breathtaking Homer Tunnel.

 

We took a boat ride to enjoy the Milford Sound’s awe-inspiring scenery. Then we continued to our guided walk from Te Anau. 

 

The next morning, we laced up our hiking boots for an hike following a portion of the famous Kepler Track. We were rewarded with incredible views and lush forest sections that made the day truly unforgettable.
