Fiordland is notable for its rainfall!

A day is spent cruising Fiordland.

Milford Sound is the best known of the fiords on New Zealand’s south west ‘corner’. It is accessible by road. Milford Sound is the wettest place in New Zealand, with mean annual rainfall of 6411 mm (252 inches)! Entering around 07:00 am, we were very fortunate!

Doubtful Sound is accessed by entering Thompson Sound, while later Dusky Sound is entered via Breaksea Sound and the Acheron Passage. These pristine waters are only accessible by sea or air.
