Overview

Enjoy a two hour cruise traversing the deep waters of Milford Sound, located in Fiordland. Your cruise will take you past St Anne’s lighthouse and out into the Tasman Sea. Informative guides point out scenic highlights along the way, such as the Bowen Falls (dropping 160 metres seaward), Sinbad Gully (a classic example of a hanging valley), snow-capped Mount Pembroke, and the awe-inspiring Mitre Peak itself, towering 1692 metres from the ocean floor.

Stop At: Mitre Peak, Fiordland National Park New Zealand

Milford Sound is located at the northern most end of Fiordland National Park on the South Island of New Zealand.

Stop At: Fiordland National Park (Te Wahipounamu), Fiordland National Park Visitor Centre, Te Anau, Fiordland National Park New Zealand

Having a smaller launch (approximately 20 metres) allows your cruise to navigate closer to the shoreline, getting up close to the incredible surroundings. Purpose-built for Milford waters, your boat has great viewing platforms should you encounter the local fur seal colonies – once nearly hunted to extinction, the rare Fiordland crested penguins or pods of dusky dolphins.

Great tour. Not too crowded on the boat, the staffs were friendly. Just the right amount of duration (not too short nor too long).

Our captain provided just enough narration. Not too loud, informative but mostly silent. Lower cabin was heated, and hot drinks provided.

Wonderful experience. They get so close to the waterfalls! Also saw a fur seal in his 'bachelor pad'.

The smaller boat meant that it wasn't crowded, so we could really enjoy the experience. The commentary provided by the guide was very informative.

We loved our boat trip - the skipper was amazing and gave great commentry! Not too much happening in the way of waterfalls because there hadn't been much rain but when I forgot to push record after a 'Glacial Facial' the skipper offered to go into the waterfall again! I'm sure none of the big boats would do that. Felt super special and like we did indeed get our fill of waterfall water! Thank you so much.
