About Fiordland and Milford Sound/Piopiotahi
The Department of Conservation describes fourteen fiords, some reaching 40 km inland, from Milford Sound/Piopiotahi in the north to Preservation Inlet in the south. The park was created in 1952 and covers more than 1.2 million hectares; ocean voyages sail in for the scenery rather than to dock.
