If you are traveling towards Milford Sound one stop you need to make is at the impressive Eglinton Valley in Fiordland National Park. Let me tell you why you should visit, where to find it, how to get there, what to see, and more!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Kiwi, who is embarrassingly versed in New Zealand film and television, sometimes I will see shots of landscapes and immediately recognize it as my homeland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As varied as Aoteroa may be, these shots often involve a flat landscape with deep green forest covered mountains on either side. It’s wild and vast, and this is the epitome of Eglinton Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you happen to be driving towards Milford Sound, one of the highlights of the South Island, Eglinton Valley makes a great place to stop and have a breather, before, if I am honest, the roads get a lot more difficult to drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, here you can enjoy a grassy meadow, with sheer mountains in the wilderness. It is also a great photo spot with impressive landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s get into all you need to know about visiting Eglinton Valley including how to get there, what to expect, wildlife you may see, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
