Under the relentless barrage of viral social media posts, Milford Sound in New Zealand has been cast in an almost apocalyptic light, making it seem like a destination reserved for rainy days ⛈️.

While the waterfalls on a rainy day are undeniably spectacular, my experience there revealed that the beauty of the fjord on a sunny day should not be overshadowed by “avoidance posts” [GoodbyeR]. Is travel merely about checking in and snapping the same photos as those viral posts?

As a renowned fjord within New Zealand’s national park, the allure of Milford Sound truly transcends the weather. 🌏

On a sunny day, the fjord ☀️ can be enveloped in a mystical mist, creating an ethereal, fairy-tale ambiance 🌫️. The small waterfalls cascading down the mountains and the lush, vibrant vegetation bring the landscape to life 🌿. A brief stop at the serene waters of Harrison Cove offers a breathtaking view of snow-capped peaks, dense forests, and the majestic fjords 🏔️.

Driving along Highway 94 feels like a journey into an ancient forest, with dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, and around every corner, you might encounter alpine parrots, glacier-carved valleys 🧊, and crystal-clear mirror lakes…

If you have a passion for nature, whether it’s a sunny or rainy day, the fjord is a must-visit [RainbowR].
