What to expect
Discover more of Milford Sound on our extended fiord cruise. For over two hours, immerse yourself in a world of waterfalls and dramatic scenery with the chance to see native wildlife—seals, dolphins, and sometimes the rare Fiordland crested penguin. The cruise includes an onboard Nature Guide who will reveal the secrets of the landscape. Our purpose-built vessels get you closer to cascading waterfalls and the sheer rock walls of the fiord. As a DOC-approved operator, we take care when observing the fiord’s native wildlife. Complimentary tea and coffee are available throughout the cruise or choose to add a freshly prepared picnic lunch to complete the experience (available to pre-order). Our free commentary app gives you access to cruise commentary in multiple language options.
