The Milford Sound Video taken during a cruise of the sound. Click on the forward arrow to view.
The boat captain was giving a commentary on the history of the waterfall at the time that the video was taken.
Our day excursion to Milford Sound was quite an interesting day. We left Queenstown by bus stopping at Te Anau for lunch and some photo opportunities at the Mirror Lakes and the Chasm (see previous posts) .
Our cruise boat was one of the smaller versions available for cruising but that meant that we could get up very close to the waterfalls and seals basking on the rocks. We were lucky enough to have a nice day except that there were high wind warning which meant that we were unable to have our scheduled light plane flight back to Queenstown. That was very dissapointing as I was very much looking forward to seeing the Milford Sound to Queenstown stretch from the air.
As NZ is renowned for small aircraft crashes we were not wishing to be a statistic so we agreed to return to Queenstown the same way we arrived. Our bus driver was named Karen & she went to a lot of trouble to try & arrange our flight home. Karen was a very competant driver & we were happy to have her company on the home stretch.
