Witness Mother Nature's masterpieces

Set sail on a serene 2-hour Milford Sound cruise aboard one of the 2 modern and spacious catamarans, Maiden of Milford or Gem of the Sound. This journey takes you through one of the most picturesque and wettest landscapes in the world. Here, you'll be mesmerized by cascading waterfalls, majestic cliffs, and lush rainforests. The water here is an exotic shade of inky black which is a combination of river and seawater. Amazingly it is formed such that there are 6 meters of fresh water over ocean water. The convenient habitat built as a result allows deep-sea life to thrive.

See iconic landmarks from another angle

Your journey spans the vast fiord, passing by landmarks such as Mitre Peak, Lady Bowen, and Stirling Falls. Witness the beauty of Fairy Falls and spot wildlife like seals, dolphins, and Fiordland Crested Penguins, all while enjoying a cozy beverage. Whether you're out on the deck or peering through our expansive windows, every view is a spectacle. Our guides will enrich your experience with engaging tales and insights, deepening your connection with these natural marvels.
