Milford Sound Scenic Cruise

About this activity
Your 2-hour sightseeing cruise will depart from the Milford Sound Visitor Center.
Having a smaller launch (approximately 20 metres) allows your cruise to navigate closer to the shoreline, getting up close to the incredible surroundings. Purpose-built for Milford waters, your boat has great viewing platforms should you encounter the local fur seal colonies – once nearly hunted to extinction, the rare Fiordland crested penguins or pods of dusky dolphins.
You will traverse into the deep waters of the Milford Sound and will have a chance to enter Milford Sound from the outside, approaching it just as the first settlers did at the end of the 18th century.
With more rainfall than any other part of New Zealand, Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound provide spectacular scenery whatever the weather conditions.
Milford Sound is located at the northern most end of Fiordland National Park on the South Island of New Zealand.

Great trip in a smaller boat. Able to get close to everything. Great crew.
Our trip was fantastic. We had perfect weather. The crew was friendly, The boat was un crowded.
Absolutely magnificent, lovely scenery, superb weather, very accommodating skipper
The day of our trip to Milford Sound it had rained continuously for over 12 hours and continued right throughout our cruise. In total 175mm of rain was deposited in Fiordland. However, this in no eay detracted from the beauty and majesty of the wonderful sights we were privileged to see. If anything it enhanced our cruise as the skipper of the boat told us that the waterfalls on one side of the Sound were only there because of the rain. Unfortunately, we were only on a little boat and the skipper had to turn it around earlier in the cruise than normal, thereby not making it into the Tasmin Sea. The weather being as it was, this was a good decision!
