Milford Sound

We took a boat trip in the evening around Milford Sound. There were very few boats on the water.
This was every bit as awe inspiring as we hoped it would be with the high mountains plunging down either side of the water into the deep.

The captain of the boat pointed out lots of interesting things to see and took us close to waterfalls and seals so that we could get a closer look. We ventured out onto the Tasman Sea where the water was quite choppy before turning round to return via the fjord.
