If you're staying at the Milford Sound lodge then leave your car there and walk to the sounds along the river.

This walk takes 20 minutes to reach the foreshore walk, swing and lookout and another 10 to reach the cruise terminal.

It's really beautiful, not very frequented and allows you stretch your legs and avoid the hassle of parking which can be pretty expensive around the cruise terminal.

Tip: Please check with staff that the track is open and safe to use at the time of year you are visiting.
