We spent the day cruising FNP on the Royal Princess cruise ship. Our cruising day started around 9am, entering Dusky Sound Fjord, and our visit ended around 6:30pm, as we exited Milford sound. We a…Full review by iowacityia

My cruise included Doubtful, Dusky and Milford Sounds on a perfect, blue sky day. Each sound was magnificent. Pictures can’t do this place justice. If your cruise to NZ includes this opportunity it i…Full review by Nlhoff
Can you drive due west from Christchurch at this time of the year? Are the roads good?
A:
The roads west of Christchurch should be fine barring an unusual snow event. The road into Fiordland can be a problem at any time of year. If you're not confident and not going …
The roads west of Christchurch should be fine barring an unusual snow event. The road into Fiordland can be a problem at any time of year. If you're not confident and not going all the way into the park, check the train schedules.

We want to spend a few days exploring Milford & Doubtful Sounds, plus this National Park... what is the best locale to base ourselves in.. ... Te Anu? (We cannot afford the beautiful Milford Lodge). We will have own transport and expect to 'day trip' out from a home base.

My wife and I stayed in Te Anu for two nights. It could and should have been longer. We had rented a car and had great access to Fiordland National Park. We drove thru the park …
My wife and I stayed in Te Anu for two nights. It could and should have been longer. We had rented a car and had great access to Fiordland National Park. We drove thru the park on the way to Milford Lodge for a mid-day cruise. Unfortunately we did not have time to take a tour to Doubtful Sound. We were able to take advantage of 2 of the short walks in the park from trailheads along the road thru the park. A lot of beautiful sights from the roadway and on the sound. Enjoy your time there.
What public transportation is available? Can we get there by Intercity Bus?
A:
I don't think so but not 100% sure. There are many tour buses that do a fantastic job. My recommendation is to go with one of those tours. They will stop and show you things like …
I don't think so but not 100% sure. There are many tour buses that do a fantastic job. My recommendation is to go with one of those tours. They will stop and show you things like waterfalls, small hikes etc. that you would not find on your own or in an Intercity bus.
We have 5 hours in Te Anau after our Doubtful sound trip before our glow worm tour. What should we do? Kepler Track? Eglinton Valley? A helicopter ride to Milford Sound? THANKS!
A:
All fantastic. Milford Sound is beautiful if you want a packed day, but a walk along Kepler track and then glow worm caves could be more leisurely. You will have a great time whatever you …
All fantastic. Milford Sound is beautiful if you want a packed day, but a walk along Kepler track and then glow worm caves could be more leisurely. You will have a great time whatever you decide.
