Milford Sound Scenic Boat Cruise

 

 

Description

Explore the natural wonder that is Milford Sound on a scenic cruise, with purpose built observation lounges and large decks to ensure you absorb every inch of Milfords breathtaking scenery. With sheer cliffs, towering waterfalls, glaciers and rainforests you'll see just what makes New Zealand's landscape so incredible.

As well as the scenery Milford is also known for its wildlife so be sure to look out for seals basking on the rocks, a pod of local dolphins frolicking in the water or the Fiordland Crested penguins fishing for their dinner.

During your cruise, the crew will provide commentary in several languages and make sure you don’t miss the sightseeing highlights, including the infamous Mitre Peak and Pembroke Glacier.

As you cruise the Fiordland treat yourself to one of the delicious lunch options – from an Indian Lunch box to a Japanese Obento Lunch or a Picnic Lunch, all freshly prepared on board by the chefs.
