Milford Sound Cruise with Optional Bus Tour

Highlights

  • Chance to see dolphins, seals, and penguins in the wild

  • Book transportation and cruise together so you don’t miss the boat

  • Convenient pickup available at Te Anau or Queenstown hotels

Summary

Meet at the pier in Milford Sound, where you board your boat for a scenic cruise along Milford Sound. As you marvel at the soaring cliffs and waterfalls, enjoy fresh air on deck or stay warm in an indoor cabin stocked with hot tea and water. Either spot is ideal for watching for dolphins, seals, and rare penguins, and you’ll get unobstructed views of Mitre Peak and the Tasman Sea before returning to shore. If you opt to book transportation to Milford Sound, meet your driver at your Queenstown or Te Anau hotel. Both journeys pass through Fiordland National Park’s beautiful mountain landscapes including the Hollyford Valley, the Darran Mountains, and rain forest canyons—and there are plenty of breaks to take short walks and ample photos along the way. After the cruise, your driver returns you to your hotel.
