The drive from Te Anau to Milford Sound is known for its stunning scenery, but it can indeed be challenging, especially for those not accustomed to mountainous driving. The road (State Highway 94) traverses through Fiordland National Park and includes steep sections, sharp curves, and can be subject to rapidly changing weather conditions, including snow and ice in winter. However, with proper preparation, many travelers find this journey manageable and immensely rewarding.

Is end of May a good time to visit?

May is the beginning of winter in New Zealand, so you can expect cooler temperatures and potentially more rainfall. However, this is precisely what makes Milford Sound so special during this time: The increased rainfall means the waterfalls are at their most spectacular, often with many temporary waterfalls appearing alongside the permanent ones. As it's outside the peak tourist season, you'll encounter fewer visitors, allowing for a more peaceful experience. This time of year can be good for spotting wildlife, as the quieter environment makes animals less shy. The landscape might have a dusting of snow, adding to its dramatic beauty. However, be prepared for variable weather conditions, including rain and potentially icy roads. Always check the weather forecast and road conditions, and consider guided tours for convenience and safety.

Could you please tell while exploring the options for cruises I saw multiple tour options , one with 2 hours and one with 9 hours , what is the difference , what is the cruise timing is it 2 hrs or can it be more ? And also where to park the car if on self drive ? I have another question as well , for example if I drive down to Milford Sound and on my return I want to use the fly option , then which operator should I opt for ? To smooth this customised requirement of mine

Hi there! Great questions about the Milford Sound cruises. The main difference between the 2-hour and 9-hour cruises is the depth of exploration and activities included. The 2-hour cruise typically covers the highlights of Milford Sound, perfect for those on a tighter schedule. The longer option often includes more in-depth exploration, additional activities like kayaking, and sometimes meals. For parking during your cruise, there's a public car park available at Milford Sound. During peak season, it can get busy, so arriving early is advisable. Regarding your return journey, if you wish to fly back, several operators offer scenic flights from Milford Sound to nearby towns. Each operator has its own unique offerings, so it's best to compare their services based on your needs. For more detailed advice and to discuss your plans with fellow travelers, consider joining our Patreon group.
