Te Anau & Fiordland
Fiordland
The lakeside gateway to Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and the Kepler Track.
Te Anau sits on the shore of its namesake lake at the edge of Fiordland National Park — the launch point for the drive (or cruise) to Milford Sound, boat trips on Doubtful Sound and the Kepler Great Walk. The town is small and friendly, the scenery enormous.
Lakeside camping makes a comfortable base for exploring the fiords. Milford Sound is a long day trip, so an early start (and a full fuel tank) pays off.
