Destination Fiordland

Destination Fiordland is the Regional Tourism Organisation (RTO) for the Fiordland area, responsible for destinational marketing of Fiordland, incorporating the townships of Te Anau and Manapouri, as well as the scenic icons, Milford and Doubtful Sounds.

Nowhere is the wild beauty of New Zealand displayed with more effect than in the stunning landscapes of Fiordland. Here untamed waterfalls tumble hundreds of metres into virgin forested valleys, lonely fiords greet the sun with enchanted birdsong, and stretches of crystal clear lakes shimmer in the pure air surrounded by a mantle of vivid green rainforest and towering granite peaks. Fiordland contains some of New Zealand’s best-known scenic icons: Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Mitre Peak and the Great Walks. These can all be accessed via a range of premier visitor activities including kayak, cruise and sightseeing opportunities, as well as tours with knowledgeable local guides.

The best way to truly experience Fiordland is by taking advantage of the hospitality and range of accommodation offered by the lakeside townships of Te Anau and Manapouri. Either of these towns makes a perfect base to relax and act as gateways to the splendours of the National Park, allowing unhurried exploration of the amazing sights and activities of the area.
