Fiordland by campervan

New Zealand · Remote South Island wilderness in Fiordland National Park

About Fiordland

Fiordland is New Zealand at its most dramatic: deep fiords, sheer rock walls and waterfalls that appear after the rain. The drive in, along the Milford Road, is part of the experience. Most Fiordland campervan trips start with a pick-up in Queenstown.

Highlights

Milford Sound (Piopiotahi)

Take a cruise beneath the cliffs and waterfalls. Book ahead in summer.

Milford Road

One of New Zealand's most scenic drives, with short walks and lookouts along the way.

Te Anau

A relaxed lakeside base for exploring the region, and the start of the Kepler Track.

Doubtful Sound

A quieter, more remote fiord reached by boat from Manapouri.

Tips for your trip

  • Fill up on fuel before the Milford Road, and allow extra time for stops.
  • Weather can close the road. Check conditions before you set off.
  • Freedom camping rules in New Zealand are strict. Stay at holiday parks or designated sites.
