If you are driving, you have to drive carefully through the Homer Tunnel which leads to Milford Sound, as it is very dark inside and no overtaking is possible. The road is rather narrow especially for big vehicles.

Milford Sound (and it's visitor center), is quite horribly infested with those irritating creatures we call sandflies. Use lots of repellent for an enjoyable trip, or you'll be bugged by bites and itches for the rest of your holiday.

Milford is reknown for the little black insects we call sandflies and lots of rain. Fortunately for me, the latter never eventuated on my visit and the former bugged me when I sat down outside the cafeteria in the sun to write a post card. If you are worried, get some repellent in Te Anau or Queenstown.
