Milford Sound cruise experience
Do this because
- Cruise along the fjord and the Tasman Sea coast
- Escape the crowds and experience Milford Sound up close on a scenic, small boat
- Relax for up to 2-hours, with frequent stops at spectacular points of interest
- Marvel at the towering waterfall dropping from hanging valleys directly into the fjord, where rainbows can be witnessed
What to expect
Explore the length of Milford Sound on this scenic cruise to the Tasman Sea aboard a modern catamaran. Enjoy the spectacle of sheer mountains rising vertically from the depths below, waterfalls dropping 160m into the fjord, seals, dolphins, and Maori legends.
After check-in at the Pure Milford counter, the adventure begins. Stepping onto the three-deck catamaran, you'll be taken the length of the fjord to the Tasman Sea and back. Learn about local Maori Legends and why Captain Cook failed to discover Milford Sound during a full commentary. See seals from meters away, the occasional bottlenose dolphin, plus the rare Fiordland Crested Penguin if you're lucky. Marvel at the towering waterfall dropping from hanging valleys directly into the fjord where rainbows can be witnessed and a freshwater shower can be experienced beneath the 160m high Sterling Falls.
