Pure Milford Coupons July 2025

Milford Sound is the most famous fiord in the Fiordland National Park and is situated on the southwestern coast of the South Island. It is the most accessible of the fiords in the National Park and is reachable by car, bus, plane, helicopter and even by foot if you choose to tramp the renowned 53km Milford Track. Despite its accessibility, it is still a 5-hour drive from Queenstown to Piopiotahi / Milford each way, and a 2.5-hour drive from Te Anau, so it’s important to factor this in when planning your Milford Sound adventure.

There are multiple options for getting to Milford Sound. You can choose to travel by car, coach or plane! All three options have unique benefits, and one important thing in common - they all let you experience the beauty of Fiordland. Visit their 'Compare Trips' page to choose the best option for you.

Piopiotahi / Milford Sound is the ultimate wet weather activity! A moody day is a good day, and if you are picturing sunshine and blue skies, you may want to adjust your expectations. It’s possible to go to Piopiotahi / Milford Sound on a blue-bird day, but this spot has some of the highest rainfall levels in the world. In this case, rain is your fantastic friend – it’s the reason you will see lush rainforests and cascading waterfalls! High amounts of rainfall create new and temporary waterfalls and that picturesque cliff face bursting with glacier-fed water.

As Piopiotahi / Milford Sound is part of the Fiordland National Park and a nature reserve, dogs are not allowed. There are certain hunting areas and walking tracks where dogs are permitted in controlled circumstances in the National Park but little to none of these are accessible from the Milford Road. More information can be found on the DOC website.
