Eglinton Valley
Leaving Te Anau and entering Fiordland National Park we stop in Eglinton Valley. With views worthy of Lord of the Rings this valley follows the path of an ancient glacier through Fiordland, one of the first major attractions as you enter the park.

4.00This is an activity not to be missed if you’re travelling to NZs South Island. The tour was in the balance after an unexpected avalanche but we eventually made it to Milford. Be aware that the road can close between Te Anau & Milford and cause cancellations. Our driver Jeremy did a good job under difficult circumstances to make sure we completed our tour. The lunch provided is a very basic picnic lunch so don’t expect too much. Overall a 4/5. Thanks Jeremy.
Awesome tour, highly recommended

5.00Awesome tour, highly recommend! Our tour guide Steve was incredibly helpful, and provided fantastic commentary on Milford Sound and the surrounding area - he knows his stuff. We stopped for countless photos along the way, which made for an enjoyable tour. The boat was smaller than the big companies, was less crowded, and provided great views. The captain took us right up to waterfalls so you could feel the spray. Fabulous day, an awesome experience. Far exceeded our expectations!
Top tour!

5.00There are many stops on the way to enjoy the wonderful views and take photos. We didn't feel rushed. It was all super timed. There were many snacks, water and a lunch which could be eaten during the cruise. The shipping was very impressive. We would recommend it to anyone!
Great Trip
