Day 3: Doubtful Sound, New Zealand. The vast, remote area of the untouched fjord "Doubtful Sound" overwhelms every visitor. Due to heavy rainfall, there is a several meter thick layer of fresh water on the sea water, which absorbs light through the washed out plant residues. Therefore, corals can be found here, which are usually only found at greater depths, just a few meters below the water surface. Other inhabitants of the fjord are dolphins, penguins, and fur seals.
Day 3: Dusky Sound, New Zealand. The "Dusky Sound" is the largest fjord in New Zealand. The sight of this huge fjord apparently also impressed Cook. So after its discovery in 1770, he returned for a few weeks to explore the landscape in detail.
Day 4: Milford Sound, New Zealand. The Milford Sound is a fjord on the South Island of New Zealand and is probably one of the country`s biggest tourist attractions. The most popular way to explore the fjord is by water. Numerous boats depart daily and take passengers out onto the water to enjoy the beauty and unique sight of this natural spectacle. A walk from the docking points leads directly to another attraction, the Lady Bowen Falls. From there, you can once again enjoy a breathtaking view of the Milford Sound and the most distinctive mountain in the area, the Mitre Peak.
