Today we are finally leaving Te Anau and taking the Milford Sound road to Milford Sound. We’re taking a whole day to do this because there are so many awesome things to do on the Milford Road along the way!

We hit State Highway 94, the Milford Road between Te Anau and Milford Sound. First stop for us is the Eglinton Valley – a 2km wide valley with unreal scenery. There’s plenty of space to park up safely and embrace! Next, we stop at the Mirror Lakes, a short walk to a super reflective lake.

There are many safe viewing areas and lookouts to pull up to along the Milford Sound Road to see the Hollyford Valley and array of waterfalls on a rainy day like today.

Next we stop at the famous Homer Tunnel carved right through the granite of the Darren Mountains. It took around 20 years to build and is the start of our descent into Milford Sound. We arrive in an amazing valley of glacier-carved mountains and Fiordland National Park forest. This has to be one of the best roads in New Zealand.

Tonight we are staying in one of the only accommodation in Milford Sound, The Milford Sound Loge.

So what do you think of the Road to Milford Sound? Do you think it’s worth taking your time on? LUK in the comments!
