With an average annual rainfall of 6,412mm (252in) each year, Milford Sound is known as the wettest inhabited place in New Zealand and one of the wettest in the world. This huge rainfall creates dozens of temporary waterfalls, cascading down the cliff faces, some reaching a thousand metres in length. Smaller falls from such heights may never reach the bottom of the sound, drifting away in the wind.
Fiords carved by the glaciers dominate the scenery eventually blending into the wild and windswept west coast.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, and you’re bound to find that here in Queenstown.
