We detoured south to Milford Sounds, for one of the best drives in the world, through fields of purple lupins, past mirror smooth lakes, up steep alpine S bend roads into snow-capped peaks, before descending through a pitch black mountain tunnel and emerging among countless waterfalls and lush rain-forest. We took a cruise around the imposing fjords, where we stood on the ship's bow as it rode under gigantic waterfalls, and were lucky enough to be there as the most perfect rainbows appeared. The detour was a bit of a punt, as it'll cost us two days travel, but it was definitely worth it.
