🌧️ Rain at Milford Sound? It Might Be the Best Time to Visit.

Many travellers worry when rain is forecast for Milford Sound, but there's a reason locals often say:

"No rain, no waterfalls."

After rainfall, countless waterfalls appear along the cliffs, flowing into the fjord as mist drifts through the valleys. It's a unique side of Milford Sound that many visitors remember long after their trip.

🚢 After your cruise, it's about a 2-hour drive back to Te Anau.

After a day exploring the fiord in cool weather, a warm meal is a wonderful way to end the journey.

At Glowworm Restaurant, we've recently added several new seafood dishes to our menu:

🦞 Sizzling Antarctic Scampi (New)
🦞 Salt & Pepper Antarctic Scampi (New)
🧄 Steamed Scallops with Garlic & Glass Noodles (New)
🐟 Tempura Alaska Deep-Sea Cod (New)

You can also enjoy some of our guest favourites:

🍲 Mapo Tofu
🥩 Sichuan Boiled Beef
🦞 Steamed Lobster with Garlic & Vermicelli
🍜 Savoury Beef Rice Noodle Soup

Whether you're looking for fresh seafood or authentic Chinese cuisine, we'd be delighted to welcome you after your Milford Sound adventure.
