Worth agreeing on before you meet

Leave No Trace

New Zealand takes conservation seriously. Pack out all rubbish, stay on marked tracks, and never feed wildlife. Fiordland is a UNESCO World Heritage Area — treat it with the respect it deserves.

Kea Etiquette

Kea (alpine parrots) at the Homer Tunnel are incredibly intelligent and curious. Never feed them — human food is harmful. Secure all belongings as they will dismantle rubber seals, backpacks, and anything colourful.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Milford Sound travel guide.
