Experience of a lifetime!

We had an unforgettable experience on our Pure Milford cruise. The staff was friendly and went the extra mile to bring us hot drinks after the coffee/tea bar had already closed when we were freezing / soaked (on purpose) from spending the entire cruise outside on the top deck :)

Pure Beauty

The Pure Milford Sound Cruise was an unforgettable experience. The crew were welcoming and friendly from the start, making everyone feel comfortable and well looked after. The boat was spacious with plenty of indoor and outdoor viewing areas, which gave us incredible views no matter where we stood.

Great experience

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking—towering cliffs, lush waterfalls, and we were even lucky enough to spot seals and dolphins along the way. The live commentary was informative without being overwhelming, giving us a real appreciation for the history, geology, and wildlife of Milford Sound.

The staff are friendly.

The staff are very welcoming. When you have difficulty taking photos, the staff will come over and offer to help you. Complimentary warm water and hot coffee are available, and the staff always keep everything clean.
