What you can expect

Enjoy a scenic cruise along the spectacular Milford Sound and admire towering mountains, vertical cliffs, and hanging valleys. Feel the spray from majestic waterfalls that cascade from an ancient rainforest high in the mountains and look out for seal colonies and dolphins surfing the wake of the boat.

Your cruise takes place aboard a modern catamaran that offers you the best vantage points for an outstanding view. Take it easy in the spacious indoor viewing decks, or head up top for unlimited 360 degree views of the incredible scenery.

As you navigate the length of Milford Sound to the Tasman Sea, let the scenery transport you back to a time of magical wilderness before the first Maori arrived. Give that camera a workout as you cruise close to a colony of New Zealand fur seals basking on the rocks. Admire the cascading waterfalls that flow into the sound, and try to spot some rare Fiordland crested penguins swimming just a few feet away. Your experienced crew and skipper will share the secrets and myths of the Fiord through a relaxed commentary, as well as pointing out local flora and fauna through out the cruise.

テアナウからミルフォードサウンドへ通じる道路が閉鎖されている情報が提供されなかったあめ、購入していたクルーズに乗れない事態となった。現地での調整により、道路が開通した後のクルーズに乗れた。
