Get closer, go longer! Why travel to Milford Sound and do anything less than the best.
Join Southern Discoveries for the ultimate Milford Sound Cruise experience!
Explore Milford with other like minded individuals and our talented nature guides on a 2 hour and 15 minute nature cruise.
Drink pure glacial water straight from Fairy Falls, experience the full force of Stirling Falls as it pounds onto the front deck (or you) while exploring all the nooks and crannies along the edge of the fiord from our luxurious small boat.
Take in close up views of seals, birds and a multitude of wildlife, including dolphins riding the bow wave, and the world's rarest penguin - the Fiordland crested penguin.
Being on-board a smaller boat gets you closer and gives you a greater appreciation for the scale and grandeur of Milford Sound's rugged cliff faces rising hundreds of metres from the ocean. Benefit from the knowledge of the skipper and expert guides on hand to ensure you don't miss a thing.

Had an absolutely wonderful time. Guides were informative and friendly, on board amenities were great, and the chance to get up close and personal with a glacial fall? Unmissable! One tip - If you want the postcard blue sky's go in summer.
