New Zealand - Milford Sound Day Tour

From our base in Te Anau we took a day tour of Milford Sound including a cruise on its waters, which I’ll save for the next post. But there was plenty to see on the way to and from the sound through Fiordland National Park with a few short walks and many spectacular views of many mountains, lakes, rivers and waterfalls.

Kea - an alpine parrot with a fondness for the rubber bits on your car. "Do they eat it?" we ask our tour guide. "No, they're just vandals," he said.


Playground set up for Keas (seriously), presumably to distract them from vandalizing the cars.

Video of a Kea. Not sure if it's squawking at the nearby fledgling, or if it's either celebrating or complaining about the piece of litter in it's grasp.


Your moment of zen: video of cascading water.
