About this experience

What to expect

Milford Sound is often called the eighth wonder of the world. Sheer cliffs rise straight from the water, waterfalls plunge hundreds of meters, and wildlife thrives in the fjord sheltered environment. Your cruise brings you close to these natural wonders without the rush, made even smoother with transfers and lunch already arranged.

Find your perfect vantage point, from the shelter of indoor lounges to open decks where the spray of the waterfalls is within reach. Live commentary from your nature guide.

Hear the stories of the fjord, its geological past, Māori legends, and the wildlife that still shapes daily life here. Wildlife encounters. Keep watch for fur seals sunning on rocks, pods of dolphins playing in the wake, and penguins shuffling along hidden coves.

Complimentary tea and coffee. Warm your hands and your spirits with a hot drink as you take in the fjord raw beauty.
