Milford Sound rainforest

Today we’re hiking through New Zealand’s South Island to visit the place Rudyard Kipling once called the eighth wonder of the world, Milford Sound and its surrounding rainforest. Nearly a million tourists visit the area every year, despite its remote location. Originally overlooked by European explorers, the area is now known for its beauty and abundance of wildlife. It’s not uncommon for visitors to spot dolphins, humpback whales and native Fiordland penguins.
