An online cruising guide for yachts sailing around Fiordland.
Fjordland |
Situated on the southwest corner of New Zealand's South Island, Fiordland is touted in the tourist brochures as "the 8th wonder of the world". Comprising myriad islands and passages, the area presents an interesting possibility for adventurers seeking unspoiled wilderness to explore. Further inland, the beautiful town of Queenstown with her mirror-flat Lake Wakatipu is the home of skiing, sightseeing flights and charming museums. This area is truly special.
Cruising the region
Fiordland features a number of fiords (often named sounds), of which Milford Sound is the most famous, though Doubtful Sound is larger and has more, and longer, branches (but is less accessible). Situated within Fiordland are Browne Falls and Sutherland Falls, which rank among the tallest waterfalls in the world, and New Zealand's three deepest lakes, Lake Hauroko, Lake Manapouri, and Lake Te Anau.
