Cross a challenging alpine pass and from its summit marvel at steep granite cliffs and rugged snow-capped peaks. Gaze in awe at the world's fifth highest waterfall. Admire the spectacular sea cliffs and streaming waterfalls of Milford Sound, and watch for dolphins and fur seals in its dusky waters.
