Milford Haven proudly offers you the whole Milford Sound cruise experience, transporting you into another world and guaranteeing an incomparable and unforgettable experience...

Highlights

Enjoy the stunning scenery of the magical Milford Sound
The most spacious, best priced 2-hour cruise in Milford Sound
Loads of indoor/ outdoor seating and large viewing windows and decks
Epic crew and open deck policy - come and visit our skipper!

Cruising Milford is one of New Zealand’s truly unique experiences, rich in nature and diverse culture - some say there’s nowhere quite like it on earth & we agree.

The Milford Haven proudly offers you the whole cruise experience, at a sweet price. We will transport you into another world and encapsulate a feeling of freedom while providing incomparable and unforgettable memories.

Our 2-hour cruise allows plenty of time to get up close and personal with the incredible scenery and cascading waterfalls while we cruise the full length of Milford Sound to the Tasman Sea.

Sit back and soak up the beauty of surrounding waterfalls, you can even order a flat white or a full lunch from our carefully crafted café menu. (Please bring cash as credit facilities can be difficult for us in the fiords – full café onboard).

If you’re lucky, some of our Milford wildlife may join you for the experience. Blue-footed penguins, seals or a pod of dolphins could help lead you through the Fiord offering amazing photo opportunities!

We challenge you to delve deeper, go further than the average experience and go beyond with us.

Wonderful informative experience

I have done several cruises in Milford Sound, but enjoyed this the most. Informative and friendly sounding Captain, and the ship was comfortable with plenty of space to relax.
