OH MY GOD!! There are few places we've seen that compares with this place. Normally it's shrouded in mist and rain, but when we visited it was unusually dry and bright - the steepness of the cliffs really makes you feel very close to the place - apparently the 'under the surface' view is a mirror image of above the surface. It has been described as 'the eighth wonder of the world' and that was by Rudyard Kipling, who knows what he's talking about!
If we ever come back to New Zealand we'll be revisiting Milford Sound. Actually, for efficiado's of this kind of thing, Milford sound isn't really a 'sound' it's a fjord (see we were listening to the cruise guide). You can do a walk here called the Milford Track, which takes four days stopping at huts along the way - we didn't have time to do it, but if we come back we will, the walk is said to be the best hike in the world.
