From Te Anau: Milford Sound Discover More Cruise

Don't miss a single inch of Milford Sound on the longest cruise from Te Anau. Popular waterfalls, secluded coves, it's got it all!

This cruise of Milford Sound extends beyond the usual tourist hotspots. Zip past the iconic Mitre Peak to hidden spots like Fairy Falls and Anita Bay.

The smaller vessel means fewer people, more peace, and perfect up-close views. Choose your view: fresh air on the deck or the cozy indoors.

No need to bring a guidebook, or worry about transport. Everything's covered, from a multilingual app to transfers from Te Anau, and refreshments onboard.

Milford Sound beyond the tourist trail

Who wouldn't want to discover the entire fiord? Now you can (well almost)! Set sail on the longest cruise from Te Anau, covering Milford Sound's popular spots, and hidden corners. Stand beneath the towering Mitre Peak and then slip away to quiet spots like Fairy Falls and Anita Bay where nature speaks louder than crowds. The smaller boat means a more serene experience and stellar views without the elbow bumps. Whether you're soaking up the sun on deck or cozying up inside, you're in for a treat. Feel the mist of waterfalls on your face, or keep an eye out for playful dolphins, lazy seals, and sneaky penguins.
