A magical cruise

An absolutely stunning cruise on Milford Sound, high cliffs, waterfalls, followed by the sea. Incredible scenery. Boat is comfortable both inside and out, making it a great experience.

Phenomenal experience

This cruise is a must do for any NZ holiday. The views are spectacular, our skipper was full of educational information and we got up close and personal with the waterfalls. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, seals and penguins on our cruise.
