Located on the southwestern corner of the South Island, Fiordland National Park is one of the most remote and sparsely populated regions of New Zealand. In fact, itโs New Zealandโs largest national park comprising dramatic fjords, towering mountains, lush rainforests, and cascading waterfalls. These landscapes were carved by glaciers over thousands of years.
