Top things to know about Milford (New Zealand)
Milford is actually a fjord that extends for some 35 km (22 miles) from its headlands into the Tasman Sea with an average width of 3 km (1 mile). The sheer cliffs along this coastline are up to 600 m high, giving it its name. Milford means "mighty stream". It is the one and only fjord in the whole of New Zealand that is accessible by road. Piopiotahi is its traditional Maori name. It stands for, 'one single piopio'. There is an interesting history behind it. Piopio is the name of a bird that was native to this land. Legend says that when the great Maui died, only one piopio flew over the land and thus the name of the place came to be 'Piopiotahi'.
This stunningly beautiful area offers many recreational activities including kayaking tours through crystal clear waters where you can see seabirds flying overhead; hiking trails through dense forest or along the shoreline where you can spot seals basking on rocks; mountain bike rides through sand dunes with panoramic views over Milford Sound; fishing trips where you might catch your own dinner!

Also, if you are looking for an easy walk with a lovely sight, you can again take the Milford Track.

If you have never had any hiking experience, Milford Track is the right place to go for it! The Milford Track is a popular hiking trail that runs from Milford Sound to the Hooker Valley.

The track has four huts along its length: Fox Glacier, Tasman Lookout, Big Rock Hut and Haast Pass Hut. These huts are usually booked out long before they open up for visitors which is around 2 months ahead of time. To get into these huts without booking ahead of time and therefore paying full price, you have two options: either walk all day on foot or book in advance! With our exclusive Milford Tour Packages, you wish for it, we do it!
A little more about the track! The Milford Track is a 39 km hike. It takes 3-4 days to complete, and you can also take a boat ride or helicopter ride from Queenstown to the start of the track.

It's considered one of New Zealand's greatest waterfalls due to its size and beauty; with shallow pools along its banks where people swim in the summertime when there isn't much else going on around town besides hiking trails leading up into surrounding mountainsides where visitors can get even closer views without having too much equipment necessary for doing so like ropes, pole so on and so forth.
