We had a short drive up to Milford Sound from the campsite. It’s worth booking online before you go and there are multiple sightseeing boats which all seem to do a similar thing.

Parking can be expensive at $10/hr at the car park close to the quay so we parked at a car park which was 30 mins walk away for free and which was very popular.

Our trip was about 2 hours and the scenery is absolutely stunning. Well worth a trip out. Once we had done the trip, we returned to Manapouri which is close to Te Anua. A 10 minute walk from the campsite was a bar/restaurant called The Church which did some great food and drinks. It’s advisable to book as it’s very popular.
