Description

If you are doing the drive to Milford Sound don't miss this short excursion. The violence of The Chasm is impressive; the strong river current has carved potholes out of the diorite rock, effectively using hard pebbles as grinding stones. The path is partly dirt and partly wooden boardwalk with handrails.
