Milford Sound Cruise
Pagi ni terasa sejuk sangat..menikam tulang..Alhamdulillah,sampai jugak ke Milford Sound Lodge malam tadi..setelah menempoh Homer Tunel..
Milford Sound ni sangat cantik..Masha Allah.Rudyard Kipling (Noble Prize Winner-a writer & a poet) pernah menggelar Milford Sound as 8th Wonder of The World.Jadi,apa dia main attractions / activities here?Apart from cruise..boleh jugak flightseeing (nikmati Milford Sound dari helicopter),kayaking,trekking....or the most happening
Underwater Observatory.Di
Underwater Observatory ni...visitors akan diturunkan 10 m underwater ,di dalam viewing area yang berhawa dingin..dan dapat menyaksikan marine life secara live!Pergilah..kalau ada kesempatan masa ..dan kewangan..
Hari ni kami akan menaiki Milford Sound Cruise.It's a must-thing-to-do ..kalau korang mengembara ke South Island ni.Actually,most travellers akan datang ke Milford Sound as a day trip..Banyak juga touring agents yang menawarkan bus / coach trip (lunch inclusive) dari Queenstown atau Te Anau.Jadi, tak perlu bersusah payah drive sendiri jalan yang berliku-liku dan challenging.. Mujur kami menginap di Milford Sound Lodge ni..sebab cruise ni dekat sangat dari campsite ni..jadi kami tak perlu terkejar-kejar untuk cruise.

| We checked out early at 7.30 am |
Breakfast today...Maggie goreng and franch fries..cukup untuk mengalas perut.
Ticket untuk menaiki cruise ni kami dah siap-siap book dari Malaysia lagi.Actually,banyak touring agents yang menawarkan package cruise ni..antaranya
Jucy Cruise ,
Real Journey,
Southern Discoveries dan
Go Orange.Even,
Milford Sound Lodge yang kami stay ni pon ada package cruise.Tapi,kami ambik package dari
Jucy Cruise..sebab most economical..
The tickets cost $55 /pax for adult & $15/pax for child (5-15 years old).
Cruise ni berbeza dari
Bosphorus Cruise yang kami naiki di Istanbul..Di Istanbul,di kiri kanan cruise,nampak bangunan-bangunan cantik Asian part & European part of Istanbul.Milford Cruise pulak...?jom tengok

Milford Sound is the wettest place in NZ..dan antara wettest place in the world too.Masa kami naik boat..cuaca baik..Dari atas deck..tepat jam 9.30 am,pelayaran bermula..
it is actually a fiord, rather than a sound. A river formed valley subsequently flooded by the sea is called a sound, however, Milford Sound was formed by the erosive effects of a glacier and is more correctly a fiord...
 |
| How would you describe this? |
Actually,kalau nasib baik boleh nampak bottlenose dolphins,penguins,furred seal & whale.Tapi.kami hanya dapat witnessed seals saja pada hari tu..Alhamdulillah..
 |
| Up close and personal with seals...in their own habitat... |
 |
| Basking on the rocks..comel sangat! |
Boat perlahan-lahan menghampiri nearby cascading waterfall..Suspen nih..
Then,came the highlight of the cruise....simbahan waterfall!
 |
| Perasan ala-ala simbahan Niagara Falls.. |
 |
| Degil..tak nak berganjak..walau dah basah kuyup! |
Puas hati dapat main air..walaupun kesejukan..
Terima kasih Allah kerana diberi peluang menghayati keindahan ciptaanMu dan kami bersyukur..
Selesai pelayaran jam 11.30 pagi,kami bergerak ke Te Anau,meninggalkan memori di Milford Sound..
