Extended Milford Sound cruise with over two hours on the fiord, Nature Guide commentary, views of Mitre Peak, waterfalls, and possible seals or dolphins.

Tour Overview

Spend over two hours on the water with this extended Milford Sound cruise, designed for travellers who want time to take in the full length of the fiord. An expert Nature Guide is onboard throughout the journey, sharing clear, informative commentary about this remote Fiordland region and its rugged landscape.

As you travel the length of the fiord, the cruise brings you close to key natural features including waterfalls reaching 163 metres high and 151 metres high. You will also see Mitre Peak, rising 1692 metres above the water, one of the best known landmarks in Milford Sound. The area is home to native, rare and endangered wildlife, and your guide helps you watch for seals, dolphins, and rare penguins along the way.

The vessel is spacious, with indoor cabins and covered outdoor viewing decks, so you can move between sheltered seating and open-air viewing as conditions change. Free tea and coffee are available onboard, and multiple language options can be accessed through an app. With more time on the fiord and expert guidance throughout, this cruise offers a well-paced way to experience Milford Sound in detail, without rushing past the landscape and wildlife that make it so well known.
