Milford Sound Overnight Cruise

This Milford Sound overnight cruise provides astonishing views and the ultimate Milford Sound adventure. You’ll depart from the Milford Sound wharf in the late afternoon and cruise Milford Sound accompanied by our specialist nature guide.

This is a relaxed-style cruise. It allows plenty of time to view the fiord’s spectacular waterfalls, and Fiordland’s rainforest, mountains and wildlife. You’re bound to encounter seals and, if you’re lucky, maybe dolphins and penguins. And your guide will explain the history and geology of the area and be on hand to answer your questions.

Your ship, The Fiordland Navigator then anchors in a sheltered cove. From here you can join the guide and explore in the vessel’s tender (small boat) or kayaks. If you prefer, you can simply relax on deck and soak in the beauty of this amazing place. If you’re feeling brave there’s always the option of a refreshing swim too. All activities are weather dependent.

As evening falls, you’ll enjoy a delicious carvery buffet in the dining saloon — a feast prepared freshly by the on-site chef. Then it’s time to relax in the company of your fellow travellers. Indulge in some star-gazing and story-sharing or simply retire to your private cabin.
The next day you’ll be able to dig into a hearty breakfast before heading back out to the Tasman Sea (weather permitting) and exploring more of the fiord.
