With an engaging and professional guide and small group sizes you’ll explore the spectacular Lady Bowen Falls.

As you paddle along the shoreline view the rainforest in beautiful detail. 2 - 2 ½ hours of kayaking is involved in this relaxing morning paddle, the tranquil waters make this an ideal place to paddle for both locals and first-time visitors.

A great way to see Milford Sound

Kayaking on Milford Sound was incredible. Our guide (Josh) made sure that we all enjoyed ourselves regardless of whether we had kayaked before and kept up an entertaining and informative commentary. This is definitely a great way to see such a beautiful place from two different perspectives - each go to different areas so he views are all special.

Incredible trip through Milford Sound

Me and my partner booked to go on this trip 5 days in advance from bookme.com. We were absolutely blown away by the whole trip. We were in a small group of 6 people to one guide (Brody) who took us on a gentle 2.5 hour trip around the Fjord. The scenery was incredible and Brody was hugely knowledgable about the area and we had plenty of breaks where we moored together to discuss the geography, cultural significance and history. We returned for the cruise which took us all the way along the Fjord to get a greater appreciation for its length and beauty. Could not recommend this trip enough, it was the highlight of my holiday. 5*.

Breathtaking, absolute must do

The kayaking part of this activity was breathtaking. You'll paddle through of the sound that are only accessible by kayak, and all you can hear are the birds and the sound of the water is it magical. The cruise was great for getting up close to the big waterfalls and going all through the main sound part Mitre Peak etc. All in all a magical day but kayaking was the real highlight and surprise.

Best way to see Milford sound!

White possibly the best experience ever! There's nothing like sitting on a kayak whilst the sun is slowly coming up over the beautiful Milford sound. You get so close to waterfalls, and the shear rock face! Our guide nacho was amazing, he was very knowledgeable, great photographer for us and just a good laugh, he really made the trip a great experience. Can't recommend this enough for everyone! Thanks again guys!
