Fiordland Tours - Milford Sound Guided Tours
Looking for a Great Walk? Try the Milford, Kepler or Routeburn tracks.
New Zealand’s best walks, on premier walking tracks, are known as the Great Walks.
Three of the Great Walks are right here in Fiordland. The Milford, Kepler, and Routeburn tracks will take you through native forest and awe-inspiring landscapes, past lakes, rivers and rugged mountain peaks. There's something to please everyone!
Great Walks tracks are well formed and easy to follow. While most people prefer to explore on their own terms, guided trips can offer more comfort. Great Walks are accessible from major towns that are well serviced by local operators and accommodation and transport providers, such as those listed on this page.

Te Anau Wildlife Park
New Zealand birds are among the rarest and most fascinating in the world. There are also many migratory birds visiting at different times of the year.
Fiordland National Park is where New Zealand’s Takahe was rediscovered, fifty years after it was thought to have been extinct. The Takahe is the largest living member of the rail family of birds, and although it is still endangered, the population is on the road to recovery thanks to intensive intervention.
Although the Takahe is incredibly rare, you can still meet some of these native beauties. Right here in Te Anau at our Wildlife Centre, we have a Takahe enclosure where you can meet some of these amazing birds.
The Wildlife Centre also hosts a large number of other rare and endangered New Zealand birds, so come along and have a look.
