Sometimes referred to as the “eighth wonder of the world,” Milford Sound boasts spectacular natural scenery with picture-perfect views. Sit back, enjoy a coffee and revel in the natural wonders of Milford Sound aboard a fully catered and modern catamaran. With full height viewing windows and 360 degree views, you will have uninterrupted views of this stunning location. Your specialist nature guide will share their knowledge with lively and entertaining commentary as you cruise past magnificent waterfalls, mountain peaks and playful seals. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch as you gaze at Mother Nature's magnificent creations.
After a relaxing cruise, the amazement continues! You will be given the opportunity to visit the Milford Sound Underwater Observatory, New Zealand’s only floating underwater observatory, accessible only by boat. Descend a spiral staircase to ten metres beneath the surface to discover the magic of the underwater world. Be in awe as you uncover an array of colourful sea creatures and rare black coral, a world once exclusively accessed by divers. Your guide will tell you more about the unique history, geology and wildlife of Milford Sound and the conservation efforts to keep the environment pristine for future generations. Unlike an aquarium, fish can come and go as they please, so each visit is entirely unique!
