Fiordland Walking Tour
Fiordland, New Zealand
Why Walk Fiordland
Fiordland National Park covers 4,868 square miles of New Zealand's southwest corner, a wilderness of deep fiords, hanging valleys, and rainforest receiving over 250 inches of rain annually. The park contains 14 fiords, three of New Zealand's Great Walks, and some of the oldest rainforest on Earth — trees over 800 years old stand in moss-draped groves. The extreme rainfall creates thousands of temporary waterfalls that cascade down near-vertical valley walls after storms.
