A quiet free overnight by an inlet watching the fishermen and a walk around the town of Mana that sits on a peninsular so there is a shore on the other side with houses built on stilts.
The New Zealand humor is very good as you can see by the house names.
We booked a boat trip around Milford Sound with Southern Discoveries for 2.30pm. We needed to be close by the night before and have plenty of petrol and provisions as ther is very little at the sound apart from parking and cruise docks. First we had to go through the Homer Tunnel, this closes at certain times during the day as it requires maintenance and it is only 1 way with traffic lights. Fortunately our timing did not cause any problems. Absolutely fantastic.
Wow, what a place, 3 freshwater lakes and the camping on the shores of Lake Taharoa Swimming was great, quite warm when you got used to it, the beach slopes gently, so you can pick your depth. There is a 7km walk around the main lake Taharoa.
