Monkey Creek

Nestled along the Te Anau Milford Highway (State Highway 94) in Fiordland National Park, Monkey Creek is a glacier-fed spring that offers a refreshing stop for travelers en route to Milford Sound. Despite its name, you won’t find any monkeys here, but you might spot alpine parrots. The creek’s crystal-clear water, so pure that visitors can refill their bottles, flows gently, providing a serene backdrop to the surrounding mountainous landscape. This natural spring is a perfect place to pause, take in the scenic views, and enjoy the crisp, clean taste of glacial water.
