With indelible memories of the Seddon Park, we returned to our room because we had to plan for a long journey the next day. It was raining for some time in the morning. Well, we had to start early as that was the day slated for us to visit Milford Sound, which was located in the southwest region of South Island in New Zealand.
I had done some research the previous day to get to the place and the best way is to reach Queenstown and book your trip there with a travel operator. It was pretty far away traveling for almost one whole day. Visiting some of the popular attractions of New Zealand was not possible on the trot. They were far apart and traveling from one place to another took some time. We were not the same like most of the travelers, who come in for a short trip to the country to mosey around on the places and move out by evening.

Our joy knew no bounds when we reached Milford Sound, which offered a fusion of outstanding nature and amazing visuals at every point. It is fiord, which I had never seen in my life. The cliffs on either side rise vertically. I was told that the Mitre Peak was tall enough to rise to about 1700 meters.
At different climates in the region, Milford Sound offers different views that can make anyone exhilarated. We booked for a boat cruise, departing from the Milford Sound Terminal. The ride was overwhelming with giant mountains in front of you rising straight out of the water. It was a breathtaking view. Moving further we could view the giant waterfalls, which were so spectacular and mesmerizing.

We spotted a few seals basking in the sun and some dolphins in the sea. The commentary on the cruise helped us to understand more about the place and the native wildlife. I was thrilled all along the journey, soaking in the unbelievable vistas the Milford Sound offered. Admittedly, a holiday trip to New Zealand is never complete without the visit to this spectacular place. With memories and images still fresh in mind, we hesitantly returned promising to visit this place again.
