On the west coast of the South Island you’ll find the jaw-dropping scenery of the Fiordland National Park. Home to Doubtful and Milford Sounds, these stunning fiords were carved by glaciers during the ice ages and are best explored by boat.

Description
The fiord’s cliffs, clad in dense forest, rise vertically from the dark water and are breath-taking in any weather. When it rains, as it often does, the waterfalls cascading into the fiords multiply and are even more incredible – some have a drop of over 1000 metres!
Take a full day tour or over-night cruise to admire this spectacular scenery – thanks to the dark skies the stars at night are unbelievable. Doubtful Sound is larger but more remote as it is only accessible via a cruise across Lake Manapouri, followed by a drive across Wilmot Pass. Milford Sound is a 2-hour drive from Te Anau, so is more accessible and popular.
Whilst you enjoy your cruise, don’t just look up at the scenery above you, look down too as you might be lucky enough to spot fur seals, bottlenose dolphins and the rare Fiordland crested penguins!
If you enjoy hiking, then the Milford Track winds its way through lush rain-forest giving you views across the mountains, fiords and waterfalls and you can take a boat trip for the final part to Milford Sound Wharf. Sea-Kayaking and diving are also available for the more adventurous!

This is the first time I have used this company and I am so pleased I found them. I couldn’t find any multi centre trips to Andalucia until I came across this company. It’s exactly what I wanted. From my first contact with them until I booked the trip I couldn’t fault them. Kelly was very efficient, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. I would certainly recommend this company.

This is our 2nd time booking with Gavin. He organised our 1st teip to Thailand and now it is time to go to Vietnam. It is so easy and straightforward with him. He knows his stuff, recommends great places to go/see and is always after a great price for his clients. We will continue to book with eShores for custom made holidays.

It was the team photo on eShores website that drew me to them - real people, who might actually care about planning my trip. I chose well - Dave Felton listened to what I wanted, and amazingly managed to work to my budget! Couldn't be happier with my booked trip to Australia in October. Thank you Dave.

Hi. 10/10 Just booked our holiday via these guys. This was a highly recommended travel agent. So we contacted them. Told them what I wanted. They were able to beat all the quotes I was about to find. Always quick to get back to me. Will use these guys again.
