Amazing Milford Sound and Homer Tunnel





Spent a day going to Milford Sound from Queenstown. Along the way we had a few stops including Mirror Lakes with even more mirror images of mountains in the lakes that were just stunning and then we went thru Homer Tunnel. This is a famous tunnel that is 1.5 kms long and took them 20 years to build. Apparently in Canada we don't know what tunnels really are as my friend from Germany thought nothing of this tunnel as we were going through it and I was just in awe!

We got to Milford Sound and took a 2 hour boat tour through the sound, past 3 large waterfalls, lazy seals and lots of amazing cliff/mountain sides. The scenery was so dramatic and amazing it's no wonder this is one of NZ's top spots to come and see!
