Fiordland

New Zealand's largest national park is home to numerous fiords created by the last ice age. The park is covered with dense native forest and rugged mountains and the majority of it is completely inaccessible unless going on a ship.

We decided to take an overnight cruise through the fiord "Doubtful Sound". The steep mountains around the narrow fiord were covered in a heavy mist creating a real mysterious feel. Once in a while the mist would lift, revealing the scenery around us.

In the evening on the first day we left the ship for a kayaking trip along the dense shores. Gliding through this wilderness in complete silence made us feel very far from the rest of the world.

On the second day the scenery surrounding us was reflected on the calm water creating a perfect mirror effect. We felt like we were taken into a childrens ferry tale storybook.
