Introducing Fiordland
Fiordland is NZ’s rawest wilderness area, a jagged, mountainous, forested zone sliced by numerous deeply recessed sounds (which are technically fiords) reaching inland like crooked fingers from the Tasman Sea. Part of the Te Wahipounamu Southwest New Zealand World Heritage Area, it remains, for the most part, formidable and remote. Te Anau and Milford Sound see the bulk of the region’s tourists, and small towns hold its small permanent population.
