β β β β β I've been to Milford Sound on two separate occasions - once in May 2014 where it had snowed and I was part of a large 50+ day tour group departing Queenstown at 5am, and the second in September 2018 in sunshine and self-driven in a hire car in a group of 4 (also departing at 5am). Both experiences were breathtaking in their own way. 2014 was magical for the snow, an even layer blanketing everything on the drive there and back. However a timed bus experience is rushed and despite the snow, my 2018 trip was better - more relaxed, with plenty of stops along the way to see all the sights in Mt Aspiring National Park and the shining sun made for some amazing photos. The waterfalls at Milford Sound were full on both my trips and the cheeky carpark Kea's ever present, and are seriously a highlight of any Otago experience. I love them so much. But please don't feed them!

β β β β β Incredibly beautiful park. We did the Rob Roy track and it was outstanding. Be aware that driving can be difficult if you're not four wheel drive. There are 10ish river crossing. Check with DOC first before attempting

β β β β β Wonderful! As you are passing by the road though the park, besides the natural beauty on the way, there are a lot of spots for you to stop and do some nice walks. The blues pools are amazing.

β β β β β The Rob Roy Glacier Track is really beautiful. You can see the glacier tip from far away when you walk 15 minutes from the carpark to the bridge above the river. To get a closer look at the glacier you'll have to hike up at least 3-4 hours return, so be very mindful of the time you go. Best is to ahead there in the morning, as there's a long stretch of gravel road to drive which slows your travel speed down significantly, along with many fords along the way. It's about 1 hour 30 mins drive from Wanaka. It's one of the best ways to see a glacier without having to spend much money on helicopter rides. It's not worth the drive there if you are not going to hike the full track, so plan wisely.

β β β β β Beautiful view from this amazing and mountainous region! I cannot wait to visit again, New Zealand has just thrown so much beautiful scenery our way it's difficult to rate them againced each other. I would recommend this to any traveler looking for some amazing and remarkable scenery from Lord of the rings. A+++

β β β β β Gorgeous but not really much in the way of a national park experience. This would be considered something to see from afar and take some photos not something you can experience by hiking or skiing as there is very little access areas.

β β β β β I highly recommend this national park, but especially the Gertrude saddler route for very experienced hikers. way better than any boat in Milford sound and one of the best views I ever had. start early so the valley is maybe covered in clouds so it looks stunning. ONLY try when good weather and not in winter, otherwise it could be fatal.

β β β β β Spectacular scenery, natural setting and great spot for an adventure or untouched experience. Plenty of lookouts, waterfalls, rivers, forest and mountains. Try fly fishing, swimming kayaking, hiking or camping out
