Witness Mother Nature's masterpieces

Sail for 1 hour and 45 minutes on the serene Milford Sound Cruise aboard one of two modern catamarans: Maiden of Milford or Gem of the Sound. Explore a stunning landscape known as one of the world’s most picturesque and wettest, featuring cascading waterfalls, majestic cliffs, and lush rainforests. The unique inky black waters result from 6 meters of fresh river water sitting atop ocean water, creating an ideal habitat for deep-sea life.
