What To Expect
Lake Gunn
Traveling deeper into Fiordland National Park, you reach Lake Gunn, a serene glacial lake tucked among beech forests. The lake is surrounded by snow-dusted peaks, and on still mornings, its waters create a flawless mirror image of the mountains and sky. For many travelers, Lake Gunn is a place of quiet reflection. Its short nature walk (if time allows) showcases moss-draped trees and native birds like tomtits and fantails. This is one of the moments where Fiordland’s untouched beauty truly shines.
Mirror Lakes Walk
A short drive from Lake Gunn brings you to the Mirror Lakes, one of the most iconic stops on the Milford Road. On calm days, the glassy waters reflect the Earl Mountains so perfectly that it feels like a painting. A wooden boardwalk winds across the wetlands, allowing visitors to get close to the shimmering pools. Even on windy or rainy days, the Mirror Lakes retain a mystical beauty, framed by lush greenery and the constant call of native birdlife. These pools symbolize Fiordland’s magic—the way water, sky, and mountains merge seamlessly.
