1. Te Anau

Duration: 30 mins
2. Eglinton Valley
Eglinton Valley offers a stunning contrast of green, native bush covered mountains, against the foreground of tan fields. Guests will have a chance to explore the long lush fields. Beautiful at any time of the year.
Duration: 5 mins
3. Mirror Lakes Walk
This short 2-minute nature walk on well formed tracks and boardwalks will have you at the tranquil Mirror Lakes, the backdrop of the Earl Mountains behind them. This is a challenge for any travelling photographer to capture the essence of the lakes - their mirror reflection.

Monkey Creek is a beautiful glacier fed waterfall/stream and is a common area to meet the Kea, a mountain parrot only found in the South Island of New Zealand. This is an opportunity to take a close up photo of these cheeky birds.

We stop just outside the Homer Tunnel on the western side, overlooking the magnificent Cleddau Valley. Surrounded by step vertical mountain faces, you will look down the valley to our route into Milford Sound. One of the highlights of the day.
