Product Description

Milford Sound Day Cruise

Now's Good! It is the perfect time to experience spectacular Milford Sound. From thundering waterfalls to sky-high mountains to lush rainforests, Milford has it all. Experience the spray of a waterfall as you cruise close to sheer rock faces. Informative, participative, and relaxed, this is the perfect way to experience Milford Sound to the fullest.

Choose to cruise in style on board the Milford Haven. More than a boat, the Haven is a cruising bar and restaurant. Enhance your cruise with something from our cafe-style menu and pair it perfectly with a fresh craft beer or local wine. 

The Milford Haven boasts a large rooftop deck with 360-degree views of the fiord. You can also choose to explore the fiord from the comfort of the cosy lounge, or there is a window seat for everyone in the cafe.

Coach options available from Queenstown and Te Anau.

Milford Sound Overnight Cruise

Enjoy an overnight cruise on board the Milford Mariner. Board the vessel at Milford Sound and settle into a private cabin. Cruise the length of the fiord with stunning views of waterfalls, wildlife and mountains. Anchor overnight and enjoy a three-course dinner and breakfast. Kayaking and tender craft excursions available.
