Glimpse a famous mountain peak
Rising above stunning Milford Sound is Mitre Peak, rising 1692m above sea level and adding awe to any photo, no matter what weather. The Milford Road journey will get you there.
Meet a cheeky mountain parrot
The kea is a cheeky and clever alpine parrot and may amuse you in the mountain tops or near the Homer Saddle on the Milford Road.
The endangered takahē was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in Fiordland in 1948 - see a takahē in Te Anau.
See marvellous marine scenes
Black coral is an underwater beauty and in Fiordland can be seen at shallower depths than elsewhere due to the freshwater layer. Sea lovers - check out the 10 Fiordland marine reserves.
