probably one of the most photograped mountains in New Zealand. Although this view is spectacular it doesn't end there. One of the best ways to see and appreciate the area is with a boat cruise with one of several companies operating on the sound.The various companies provide a range of boat sizes, departure times and cruise options. Spectacular scenery is not all you may see, there are frequent sightings of Dolphins, Penguins, Seals and Whales.
Although milford sound is the jewel in the crown the whole area is a must see. The Milford road is a stunning alpine drive and an experience in itself. There are many attractions along the way and visitors who travel by coach can miss these. Being able to take your time and stop and take photos and see what interests you makes it all the better.
Also the coach companies share the same schedule due to the time restraints in travelling the distances required. This means that there are many people arriving at the sound at the same time, making for crowded conditions in restaurants, on boats and walking tracks. A good way to avoid these crowds is to travel independently, and the best way to this is to hire a car. Rentadent is able to provide you with a quality, reliable vehicle at the most competitive prices in Queenstown.Be sure to check road reports before travelling on the Milford road. Small and large slips are not uncommon, avalanche danger, snow and ice can cause road closures and snow chains must be carried during winter.
Hiring a vehicle from Rentadent means you'll have a vehicle that's up to the journey and snow chains (where required) provided free of charge.
