Discover the best of Milford Sound on a scenic cruise aboard a spacious and comfortable catamaran.

Cruise capacity is capped to allow for plenty of room to roam the vast viewing decks, and ensuring no squabbling for space during photo ops!

Choose to relax in the comfortable interior cabins, or visit the outdoor decks to breathe in the sights and sounds of the fiord.

The famed fabulous scenery is guaranteed to leave you speechless as you are spoiled with ancient rainforest, towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls and magnificent views.

The jovial and cheery crew are on hand throughout the cruise to share their wealth of local knowledge, take those all-important photos, and join you to feel the spray as the boat noses close to Stirling Falls for a refreshing finale!

You are welcome to visit the skipper in the open wheelhouse who can help you spot seals lounging on rocks, look out for dolphins curiously coming for a surf, or perhaps even a Fiordland Crested Penguin if the time is right.

Enjoy complimentary tea and coffee throughout the cruise, with the option to purchase further hot and cold beverages and refreshments from the on-board Cafe Bar.

A wonderful, uncrowded boat tour

We had a fantastic experience with the Pure Milford boat tour of Milford Sound. The staff at the terminal were friendly and helpful, and the staff onboard were excellent. The boat itself was very comfortable and the capped cruise capacity meant that it was easy to find a spot on any deck. We are so glad we chose Pure Milford and would highly recommend them if you are visiting Milford Sound.
