Fiordland - General Info
Description:
This is an area on the south-west coast of South Island comprising of magnificent fiords. The most notable being Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound. Most of the area is a National Park and there are several offshore Marine Reserves where fishing is restricted. The area is practically uninhabited, so it is important to be very self-sufficient when cruising here.
