Visiting New Zealand without seeing Milford Sound is like buying a gelato and only eating the cone.
It doesn’t matter how you see it, just find a way. Some people fly over, some people take a riverboat, some people hike the nearby Milford Track. But me? I wanted to get close to the water.
So, I booked a sea kayak trip with Rosco’s Milford Kayaks.
A picture speaks a thousand words, so I’ll let them carry it from here…


We took the sunset trip which meant all the day tourists were leaving as we arrived – and we had the whole place to ourselves.


Here, my little brother is doing all the work while I take a photo.


Kayaking Milford Sound is the best thing I have ever done in my home country of New Zealand. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with a sense of adventure.
