The whole experience was just sureal! Right from the moment we left the dock to when we arrived back it was an excellent experience! The catain kept us well informed via commentry of all the interesting points to look at, pointed out local wildlife, e.g.penguins etc. We would love to share this experience again with someone who has never done Milford Sound.

La croisière a été exceptionnelle, le personnel à bord très accueillant et souriant. Ils ont su nous faire profiter des 2h de croisière. Si je peux donner un conseil, faites-le en hiver ! Fini l'excursion, nous avons été à la boutique de souvenirs très sympa😌... Et on repart de Milford, nous avons été surpris par la neige🥰... C'est l'endroit le plus beau que j'ai vu de ma vie ! JE RECOMMANDE

The captain was informative without being too much commentary, as well as funny. The crew were so friendly and helpful. Great scenery, just breath taking moments.

We went on the cruise during a heavy rain storm. Counterintuitively, these were the perfect weather conditions. Due to the rain, the waterfalls were nothing short of spectacular. Our lunch included enough for two meals, so several items ended up in our snack bag for the remainder of our three-week trip. My only regret is having to take photographs through the window since the wind was whipping rain onto the deck. Of course, the closer we cruised to the Tasman Sea, the higher the wind gusts. (Yes, Virginia, sometimes water falls horizontally!) On our drive in from Queenstown, the mountainsides were relatively dry as we descended to the sound. On the way out, most of the mountainsides were decorated with cataracts of cascading water. Beautiful! Sorry for the relative greyness of the photos. It was that misty.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise through the Milford sounds aboard your ferry, it was so easy getting our boarding pass and boarding the boat, we stood at the front so got great views, we also enjoyed the commentre, it was very informative and great humour to go along with it. The captain tried her best to get the weather to provide us with some rain for the waterfalls but alas it stayed beautiful and fine which was ok. We didn't have the optional lunch but saw people enjoying there and it looked quite good. Thanks for looking after us for the afternoon.

It was amazing, a real thrill ride

Cruise through the dramatic fjords of Milford Sound on a sightseeing journey featuring iconic waterfalls and towering cliffs.

Getting started

Arrive at the designated pier and present your ticket for boarding. After a quick safety briefing from the crew, settle in and prepare for departure.

Features

Stirling and Bowen Falls: Witness these two prominent waterfalls plunging from towering heights, showcasing the region’s powerful rainfall and geology.

Mitre Peak: Admire the distinctive peak rising sharply from the water, a signature landmark of Milford Sound and a favorite for photographers.

Wildlife viewing: Keep an eye out for native seals basking on rocks and, with luck, dolphins or rare Fiordland crested penguins along the shoreline.

Onboard comfort: Enjoy open-air decks and indoor seating, providing panoramic views and shelter as you glide through the fjord.
