What you can expect

This trip delivers a Milford Sound cruise experience that is more authentic, insightful and personal. Travel aboard a small boat cruise, with an informative nature guide, for two hours of magical sights and sounds. Take the opportunity to drink glacial water, touch natural artefacts and get beneath huge waterfalls. Milford Sound cruises often get the opportunity to spot some incredible wildlife, and a small boat cruise will give you the best viewing experience.

If you are short on time, you can still experience Milford Sound by boat on a two hour nature cruise. The passionate skippers at Southern Discoveries will provide fascinating insights into the area and you may be lucky enough to see dolphins, penguins and seals!
