Multiple options to view Milford sound- helicopter, plane, but boat trip would give you the best view. Two hour drive from Te Anau, recommend giving yourself time to do some of the short walks and sights along the way. To book a trip just google Milford sound and all your options will pop up or alternatively walk about Te Anau and go to the information centre.

Beautiful 3-4 day hiking trac however you can do half or 1 day hikes from Te Anau. Either take a water taxi across or walk from town past the control gates and walk up to Luxmore hut- this will take you 2-3 hrs to reach the hut and will give you amazing views of Lake Te anau. Or you can go the other way down the river and be amongst the native forest- this section can also be biked on the opposite side of the river. View the DOC website for more information on these tracks
