Milford Sound
1. Milford Sound

Dubbed the eighth wonder of the world by Rudyard Kipling, Milford Sound is a stunning fiord on New Zealand’s southern island. Thanks to heavy rainfall (it averages 182 days of rain a year, and a mean annual rainfall of almost 7 metres), it boasts magical waterfalls of over 1200m and rain-forest adorned cliff faces. The sea below is inhabited by penguins, seals, dolphins, and occasionally whales. You can explore by kayak, cruise ship or hiking.
