Yes, it's a monster day — roughly five hours of road each way for two hours on the water — but Milford is the rare place that out-argues the math: Mitre Peak rising a mile straight out of the sea, waterfalls the boat noses into, fur seals draped on the rocks. The road itself is half the show, especially after rain, when a thousand temporary waterfalls switch on. Rain days are honestly better than sunny ones, and the Homer Tunnel queue in peak summer adds time; pack motion-sickness tablets if the coach's rear rows find you.
