Te Anau-Milford Road

The Te Anau Milford Highway is a spectacular alpine drive

The 240 kilometre return journey travels through extremely mountainous and winding terraine, and takes a minimum of 2&1/2 hours to drive each way (not allowing for scenic stops etc). This time includes some leeway for potential delays at the Homer Tunnel while traffic lights are in operation here over the summer months which can contribute to delays of up to 20 minutes.
