Milford Sound naturcruise med Southern Discoveries

Exploring Milford Sound with Southern Discoveries was truly one of the most unforgettable highlights of the trip. The entire experience felt seamless—from the moment we checked in to the breathtaking cruise through the fjord. Their staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the place, sharing stories and facts that made the journey even more meaningful. The vessel was comfortable with plenty of viewing spots, and the panoramic windows made it easy to take in the dramatic cliffs, lush rainforests, and cascading waterfalls. Getting up close to Stirling and Bowen Falls was a surreal moment—you can literally feel the spray of glacial water as the boat gently moves in.

The Milford Cruise via Southern Discoveries was incredible. There was plenty of space to roam around on the deck, as well as sit inside for a while. The self-serve tea & coffee was lovely, and options to buy food was ok. I loved how the driver would narrate where we were, and got up close to a waterfall. Definitely bring a rain jacket, it shifted between sun & rain for us!

The cruise ride was about 2 hours that brings you along the fjord towards the open sea before making a turn back inland. The view along the way was magnificent and we were lucky enough to see some dolphins playing in the water. Definitely worth it.

好美的地方，下雨天的瀑布非常的壯觀所以如果能夠在下雨天來的話真的是非常幸運的，我們那一次就看到非常多的瀑布，而且水量非常的足非常推薦這個行程，我們這次的這一艘船工作人員都非常的幫忙，甚至還主動幫我們拍照非常的客氣，還會幫我們刮窗戶的水霧，讓我們能夠看清楚峽灣瀑布，總之這是一個難忘的景色

For the price it’s actually ok. No difference from other operators. It’s better to get the cheaper one from other operators IF you can be there for the last ferry. Else Southern Discoveries operate till pretty late esp if you’re driving from Queenstown.

天氣超棒，讓整趟峽灣旅遊很美好，看到很壯麗的景色，更讓人驚奇的是看到好幾隻海豚伴隨著我們一起遨遊，真的是很棒的體驗！

There are 3 decks to with plently of seats and open space to hang around and take photos. It was close to winter so I couldn't stay at the top deck for long. Glad they have hot complimentary coffee/teas. However, I found the tour is a little boring, visited a few waterfalls, lucky to see several dolphins are 3 different locations. And that is about it for the 1.5h journey.

南半球でフィヨルドを見ることができるとは知らず、とてもお得な気分になりました‼️雄大な景観、圧巻の滝のスケール、長い長いフィヨルドをぬけた先にパッと開けたタスマン海。どれもこれも大満足でした。一見の価値かあります。

Redemption was very easy. We were very lucky that the weather was superb. Got close to the waterfall and cliff side for viewing.

Firstly I must remind all to reach the place early (at least 45 mins) and go straight to the jetty first. The boarding beth is really far. Our group of 7 were running like crazy...and that's sth I remember till today. Overall the scenery is beautiful and the whole experience was good. We took many nice photos there.
