Overnight Milford Sound adventure
Your unforgettable journey begins in the late afternoon as you board the Milford Mariner in Milford Sound. Embark on a scenic cruise, taking in the breathtaking sight of waterfalls cascading down lush rainforests, and majestic mountains that pierce the clouds. Above it all is the iconic Mitre Peak, its distinctive shape mirroring a bishop's hat. A specialist nature guide will be on board to share fascinating insights about the fiord's unique ecosystem and answer any questions you may have. Keep an eye out for Lady Bowen Falls, the tallest permanent waterfall in the fiord.
Explore the fiord up close
Once the Milford Mariner anchors in a sheltered cove, you’ll get the chance to explore by kayak or small boat. See playful seals basking on the rocks, and marvel at the sheer scale of nature as you paddle alongside cliffs. Back on board, indulge in a delicious three-course dinner prepared by the onboard chef, followed by an evening of relaxation under the star-studded sky. Retire to your comfortable cabin or unwind on deck, soaking in the tranquil atmosphere. Day 2 brings a hearty breakfast before another exploration cruise, weather permitting. Take in the final sights of Milford Sound before returning to the terminal by mid-morning, with memories that will last a lifetime.
