Milford Sound fjord — New Zealand
Land at Auckland Airport. Transfer to city hotel. Evening Sky Tower observation deck and Viaduct Harbour waterfront.
New Zealand is the adventure capital of the planet and one of the most cinematically beautiful countries on Earth — a compact two-island nation of extreme geological diversity that packs active volcanoes, geothermal valleys, ancient glaciers, dramatic fjords, subtropical beaches and rolling Hobbit-hole hills into a country smaller than Italy.
Queenstown invented modern adventure tourism: it gave the world the commercial bungee jump, skydiving over lakes, jet boating through canyon gorges and heli-skiing down untouched alpine powder. Milford Sound — Rudyard Kipling called it the Eighth Wonder of the World — is a 15km fjord of sheer rock walls plunging 1,200m straight into dark water, with waterfalls cascading from every face. And Hobbiton, where Peter Jackson built the permanent Shire sets and left them standing, is the world's most magical film location experience. EternalMiles New Zealand packages from India cover both islands thoroughly.
