Actor Michelle Langstone's tips for visiting the magnificence of Milford Sound

"I came back to Milford Sound because I couldn't get the shape of the landscape out of my head; those glacier-carved mountains plunging toward deep green water, the lichen and moss hugging the faces of giants who seemed to lean in and admire their faces in the deep stillness."

Actor and writer Michelle Langstone is rarely lost for words - except when she tries to describe the beauty of Milford Sound.

In this episode of our Trip Notes travel podcast, NZ Herald Travel Editor Stephanie Holmes and writer Juliette Sivertsen talk to Michelle about travel to Fiordland and the magic of Milford Sound.

They also discuss boating holidays in New Zealand and abroad, and their favourite memories of being out on the water.

The episode is inspired by Michelle's article 'Sounds of Silence, which you can read here:
