Stop At: Mitre Peak, Fiordland National Park New Zealand

Milford Sound is located at the northern most end of Fiordland National Park on the South Island of New Zealand.

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.

Awesome trip and fantastic commentary. Loved the communication and onboard support from staff. Lovely touch with warm drinks available at no cost . there was a live map of our movements but it would have been great to have a large map of the entire fiord that was displayed somewhere.

We were originally booked on the bus but so glad we chose to fly. Highlight on the cruise was going under the waterfall.

Great day. Our driver Graeme was full of information and little stories on the trip there and made sure we got to stop for some great photos despite the weather meaning we couldn't stop at a few of the usual photo stops. It poured with rain at Milford but that meant we got to see 100s of waterfalls that wouldn't usually be there and it didn't wreck the cruise at all. Still heaps of photo ops and views. Few dolphins, a couple of seals. It was all goodEverything went smoothly, from the greeting to the friendly pilot. We had to postpone because of weather but not a problem rescheduling.
