Overview

This 2-hour boat cruise departs from the Milford Sound Visitor Center and travels across the deep waters of Milford Sound in Fiordland. The smaller boat size allows for closer views of the surroundings. Along the route, the boat passes St Anne’s lighthouse and continues out into the Tasman Sea. Guides provide commentary on key sights including Bowen Falls, which plunges 160 metres into the sea, Sinbad Gully, known as a hanging valley, snow-capped Mount Pembroke, and Mitre Peak, which rises 1692 metres from the ocean floor. Free tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are served on board. Children under 3 can join free of charge.
