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.

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.

Fantastic tour. Small group and not overcrowded. Just the right amount of commentary. Was amazing to yet up so close to the waterfall for our “glacial facial!”

The scenery was amazing! Remember to take warm clothes as it was warm in Queenstown but very cold at Milford Sound. Would totally recommend this.

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