    Personalised table for 2 and the knowledgeable hosts and guides made it well worth the $$$. Food was good and topped off with a cheese board. The all female crew only added to the experience.

    We enjoyed the whole experience starting with the lovely lady who helped me organise transport after I said I didn't need it. The driver Hygi was awesome dealing with an older vehicle and a non working headset. The people on the cruise were excellent and friendly and the cruise was awesome. The hardest part was that as I am a larger person, the seatbelt was extremely tight and very uncomfortable. Please remember that not everyone is tiny.

  • A premium cruise like no other

    Get away from the hustle and bustle of life for a premium cruise to Milford Sound. Your cruise starts with a warm welcome and a glass of Mumm champagne. Take your seat and enjoy uninterrupted views on the vessel’s spacious deck. With an expert nature guide on board, learn about the history and geology of the fjord. You can put your camera to good use as you can take pictures of the powerful and cascading Bowen Falls or the unique Lion Rock. Get a taste of fiordland cuisine as you munch on specially curated canapes made from local produce.

    A peek into Milford’s wildlife

    With experienced skippers on board, you will get to experience the cool spray of a waterfall as you move close to sheer rock faces. You may catch sight of some dolphins, the Fiordland crested penguins, or the New Zealand fur seal relaxing on a rock. With just a small group on board, you can experience the “eighth wonder of the world” more personally. You can also upgrade your experience to include round-trip transfers from Queenstown or Te Anau, making this experience more relaxed and memorable.
