Highlights

  • Embark on a Milford Sound cruise, offering stellar views of steep cliffs rising from the dark waters of the fjord.
  • Enjoy the skipper's live narration detailing its unique geology, the source of its inky black water, and more as you sail past Mitre Peak and Lady Bowen Falls.
  • Witness the majestic Stirling Falls, plunging from 508 feet, and feel the spray of fresh glacial melt on your skin.
  • Savor a hot cup of tea or coffee in the cozy lounge or on the viewing deck while spotting seals, dolphins, and Fiordland crested penguins.
  • Fun fact: Milford Sound is not a sound. It is actually a fjord, which is a glacier-carved valley.

Your Experience

Witness Mother Nature's masterpieces

Set sail on a serene 1-hour 45-minute Milford Sound cruise aboard one of the 2 modern and spacious catamarans, Maiden of Milford or Gem of the Sound. This journey takes you through one of the most picturesque and wettest landscapes in the world. Here, you'll be mesmerized by cascading waterfalls, majestic cliffs, and lush rainforests. The water here is an exotic shade of inky black, which is a combination of river and seawater. Amazingly, it is formed such that there are 6 meters of fresh water over the ocean water. The convenient habitat built as a result allows deep-sea life to thrive.

See iconic landmarks from another angle

Your journey spans the vast fjord, passing by landmarks such as Mitre Peak, Lady Bowen, and Stirling Falls. Witness the beauty of Fairy Falls and spot wildlife like seals, dolphins, and Fiordland Crested Penguins, all while enjoying a cozy beverage. Whether you're out on the deck or peering through our expansive windows, every view is a spectacle. Our guides will enrich your experience with engaging tales and insights, deepening your connection with these natural marvels.
