Overview

Enjoy uninterrupted views of glacier-carved cliffs on your Milford Sound cruise aboard mdoern, spacious and comfortable catamarans. With spacious seating indoors, an open sun deck up top and a covered deck at the rear, your cruise comfort is guaranteed. Visit the onboard Café Bar for an array of substantial hot and cold snacks, or simply savour a local wine or beer as you bask in the beauty of the surrounds. The famously friendly skipper and crew are on hand to share their wealth of local knowledge, take those all important photos and join you on foredeck for the big finale as the bow noses close to Stirling Falls!

Itinerary

  • Milford Sound

    Step aboard our magnificent three deck catamarans, and enjoy a scenic cruise along spectacular Milford Sound. Get up close and personal with the fiord's towering mountains, sheer cliffs and hanging valleys as the boat hugs the edges of the fiord throughout the two hour cruise. Feel the spray from the waterfalls that cascade from an ancient rainforest high in the mountains and look out for New Zealand fur seal colonies and occasionally dolphins swimming nearby. The cruise goes the full length of the fiord to the Tasman Sea and return down the opposite side. During the exploration you will pass iconic landmarks such as Bowen Falls, Mitre Peak, Copper Point, Fairy Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Dale Point, Seal Rock and of course Stirling Falls.

Amazing

Published on Feb, 2025

This was an amazing experience with great view and they offered free coffee and tea on board. We had a great afternoon. Also the drive there is amazing and you should plan a little bit more time so that u can take a few of the amazing stops. I would recommend doing this

Pure Milford is best option!

Published on Feb, 2025

Amazing place to visit, Pure Milford was best boat to go on. Other's were older and more packed out. We did the 11am trip and was not crowded, when we got back there was buses everywhere and the place was packed.

Milford Sound Cruise

Published on Feb, 2025

It was an amazing experience. The scenery is stunning, the commentary very interesting and entertaining. The cruise staff are very helpful. Loved every minute of it! It is a 15 minute walk from where you park your car to the cruise/ticket terminal.

Great boat ride with fantastic views

Published on Feb, 2025

This was an absolutely fantastic cruise for a couple of hours. 3 deck boat with the best view on top deck but be prepared for high winds especially through the straights. Great photo graph probabilities and lunch was alright but slim for vegetable hater. The deck hands were very friendly and helpful. Well worth the trip driving up to the ferry boats.
