Creator's Key Takeaways

we wanted to take the time to share some tips and tricks that we learned from our six Amazing Days rving around the south island of New Zealand

the freedom Campground that we stayed at had absolutely amazing sunset views over the lake as well as amazing views of Mount Cook

we highly recommend it after the short hike to the glacial Lake

if you find yourself in Milford Sound and you're looking for a cruise company definitely look into to Southern Discovery

Get a self-contained vehicle to easily find freedom campgrounds in New Zealand
Book a heli hike or guided hike to truly appreciate the glaciers
