Milford Sound attractions

Perhaps New Zealand's most beautiful location, it's no surprise that Milford Sound is connected with legends. The fjord on New Zealand's South Island is known as Piopiotahi in Maori, named after the thrush-like piopio bird which was said to have flown here in mourning after the hero Māui died trying to win immortality for mankind. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is an essential part of any visit to the South Island.
