Eglinton Valley
One of the first highlights of a trip to Milford Sound after entering Fiordland National Park is the Eglinton Valley. It was carved out by glaciers thousands of years ago. Today, steep rocky mountains covered in native beech forest line the valley. The flat floor of the valley is covered in eye-catching golden tussock grass. The Eglinton Valley is a favourite photo stop for visitors – the eye-catching contrast between the dark tree-clad hillside and the rippling golden tussock makes for a stunning backdrop.

The tunnel is an astonishing feat of engineering. Construction began in 1935 as a depression-era relief project, originally started by just five men with picks and wheelbarrows. Plagued by extreme weather, avalanches, and World War II, it took 19 years to complete and officially opened to traffic in 1954.
