Highlights

Soak up the scenery and spot local flora and fauna from your choice of large viewing decks on our spacious catamaran

Enjoy a hassle free, uncrowded and comfortable cruise through magnificent Milford Sound.

Marvel at the magic of Milford from every angle through large windows, spacious viewing decks and from TV screens projecting live outdoor footage from HD cameras.

Visit the sun deck for those 360 vast views, explore the large outdoor viewing decks, settle into the comfortable seating indoors, or relax in the shelter of the covered rear deck.

Keep an eye out for fur seals lounging rocks, playful dolphins who come to surf the wake of the boat, and if you're steeped in Fiordland fortune, you may even spot the Fiordland Crested penguin!

Enjoy proper Kiwi hospitality from our superb social Pure Milford crew, ensuring the best atmosphere in the Fiord!

Visit the skipper for a chat in the open wheelhouse, or join the crew to feel the glacial spray on the front deck as the bow noses close to Stirling Falls.

Free tea and coffee are available throughout the cruise, as well as an assortment of beers, wines, hot and cold food and refreshments available for purchase from the onboard Cafe / Bar.

Join the Pure Milford family at Milford Sound for the scenic cruise of a lifetime!

Amazing Experience

We recently went on a cruise with pure milford. The staff were incredible. My husband has mobility issue & the were more than accommodating to make sure he was still able to enjoy the experience like everyone else. The boat was clean & tidy & the Commentary on board from Kahu as we traveled was fantastic.
