The Homer Tunnel was completed in 1953 to open access to Milford Sound it is 945 meters above sea level and is 1.2 km long with a steep gradient downwards leading in the direction of Milford Sound. It is only one car width so the lights tell you when it is safe to enter. The road is hilly leading up to the tunnel and then when you come out the other side it is very very steep going down in sharp U shape bends. Going home was fun due to it's steepness and their was another motor home broken down half way up the hill as it couldn't make it. It was fun going through the kids enjoyed it.
