Happiness!! Reliving my Southern Highlights tour with Travel Marvel back in October 2000!! The Glow Worm Cave and Milford Sound shall stay with me always!! Thanks Again!! ❤🇳🇿♥️
How proffessional, what a beautiful video. I have been out on the Milford Sound today and enjoyed it immensely but my photographic footage is nothing compared to yours, absolutely brilliant.
Thank you very much! So happy to hear you enjoyed both my video and our natural wonder of the world. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time here in this amazing place!
great video! Can I ask how long did it take for you to drive from Te Anau to Milford Sound including all these stops? I am planning to go this August but unsure what timing cruise I should book as I wish to make these stops as well. Grateful for any input/advice! :)
Hi, I drive it quite regularly as a guide. I would highly recommend taking a guided tour as it adds depth and knowledge to each location and ensures you’re on time without missing anything + it’s not an easy road to drive if you aren’t used to our mountain roads. The company I sometimes guide for is Cheeky Kiwi Travel they pickup in Queenstown and Te Anau. I put a discount PROMO code and link in the description. They usually book up pretty far in advance so check it out. If you drive from Te Anau I’d recommend 3 hours, however some of the stops featured are off the beaten path. Either way have an amazing time in one of the most beautiful places on earth!
Glad you enjoyed it! September you don’t normally need chains but some of the snow shots I got were from a freak snowstorm in Sep which can happen, however it’s very rare that chains are required on that road.. even in winter, they are pretty good at clearing it asap!
Hi there, as mentioned at the start of the video this is shot over a 2 year period in all seasons. Each season brings something new and unique, you’ll see how beautiful it is with the shots in the snow, the summer is equally as beautiful in the sunshine and warmth, and even heavy rain brings spectacular waterfalls. You can’t go wrong!
You’re a little incorrect about trout, having minimum impact on the eco system. They do have a big impact on our environment, as they eat our native species.
You would think so but unfortunately not. Trout are up on a high pedestal threw NZ, but the fact that our native species are in high decline threw the decline of spawning habitat, pollution, introduced species and over fishing. There are a few organisations helping in the spawning habitats around the country, but yes the trout aren’t helping. Just watching your RUclips as we are heading down those ways this week for the 1st time and liking your footage 😉
@@OceandiversityNZ thank you, yeah I knew there was conservation work with Galletides but I wasn’t aware how bad trout were. I guess it’s a controversial issue like hunting..
The previous rate of temp rises took thousands of years after the last glacial maximum (we still have fragmented glaciers in Fiordland). This slow natural process allowed ecosystems to catch up to changes. Not all historical climate change is a bad thing. The current rate at which things are warming is much faster and far more unpredictable in its consequences, that’s what is worrying scientists.
It’s been 40 years (November 1984) since I was there. Thanks for taking me back. What a wonderful video!
You’re more than welcome! I hope you get a chance to visit again someday!
There is nothing like that drive into Milford Sound - it's breathtaking to say the least! 🤩
Every time I run a tour into the national park I tell my guests it’s one of, if not the most beautiful drives on earth!
So nice !!!
Thanks to RUclips, I explored such a beautiful place in the southern hemisphere - New Zealand.
One of the best places on earth!
Nothing beats the road to Milford. Love it
Absolutely epic in all seasons! 🙌
Very beautiful shots.Hope to visit there someday.
I hope you do, it’s an amazing place!

Dobar dan , iz Hrvatske sam i zaljubio sam se u Novi Zeland prije 40 godina kad sam u kinu gledao film sa nekim žutim automobilom marke "Mini"
Thank you for the video. I loved it. I was there in 2008 and this brought back lots of memories. 😊
You’re more than welcome, it’s a very special place. Hope you return someday!

We were getting ready to ice climb at Franz Josef and a cheeky kea tried to run away with my ice axe!
Haha that sounds like them! Atleast you weren’t on the ice when it happened, that could have devastating consequences..

Hey great video! What time of the year did you travel to Milford Sound?
Thank you! I was guiding there so this was taken throughout the year..
❤
Hi. Loved this video. I'll be doing the same trip in mid September this year. Do you think I'll need snow chains on my car?
Glad you enjoyed it! September you don’t normally need chains but some of the snow shots I got were from a freak snowstorm in Sep which can happen, however it’s very rare that chains are required on that road.. even in winter, they are pretty good at clearing it asap!
Thanks so much@@GlobalTravelStories
Hi which month did you visit? And which month you think is the best to go there to see the beauty of it? Thanks in advance

Good to know, I wasn’t aware. You’d think there would be some control in the National Parks to reduce that..
You would think so but unfortunately not. Trout are up on a high pedestal threw NZ, but the fact that our native species are in high decline threw the decline of spawning habitat, pollution, introduced species and over fishing. There are a few organisations helping in the spawning habitats around the country, but yes the trout aren’t helping.

if we hadnt had global temp rises/warming from last ice age , we woul;d not have these beautiful fiords to wonder at . Glass half full or empty
