Why you’ll love this…
  • Cruise along the fjord and the Tasman Sea coast

What to expect

Explore the length of Milford Sound on this scenic cruise to the Tasman Sea aboard a modern catamaran. Enjoy the spectacle of sheer mountains rising vertically from the depths below, waterfalls dropping 160m into the fjord, seals, dolphins, and Maori legends.

After check-in at the Pure Milford counter, the adventure begins. Stepping onto the three-deck catamaran, you'll be taken the length of the fjord to the Tasman Sea and back. Learn about local Maori Legends and why Captain Cook failed to discover Milford Sound during a full commentary. See seals from meters away, the occasional bottlenose dolphin, plus the rare Fiordland Crested Penguin if you're lucky. Marvel at the towering waterfall dropping from hanging valleys directly into the fjord where rainbows can be witnessed and a freshwater shower can be experienced beneath the 160m high Sterling Falls.

    Traveled as a couple


    Sehr schöne Cruise im Milford Sound. Das Schiff war brandneu mit großem Aussendeck, der Kapitän erzählte interessant und unterhaltsam. Es gab kostenfrei Kaffee, Tee und Heiße Schokolade. Die ganze Crew war ausgesprochen freundlich. Die leeren Kaffeebecher wurden einem auch auf dem Aussendeck abgenommen, die jungen Crew Mitglieder boten an, Fotos von den Gästen zu machen (mit den Handys und Kameras der Gäste, kein Verkauf von Fotos o.ä.). Nette Atmosphäre an Bord, kann den Anbieter empfehlen
