Stay overnight on the Milford Mariner and experience Milford Sound at its most peaceful. Enjoy chef-prepared meals, guided kayaking or tender boat exploration, and wildlife encounters. With private or shared cabins, it’s the most immersive way to experience this iconic fiord.
Experience the magic of Milford Sound with an overnight cruise that lets you slow down, unwind, and fully connect with Fiordland’s breathtaking beauty. As evening settles over the fiord and day visitors depart, the landscape becomes calm and peaceful, with towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and still waters creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Once aboard the Milford Mariner, your afternoon and evening unfold at a relaxed pace. Enjoy canapés and a freshly prepared buffet dinner featuring local flavours, then join your nature guide for optional kayaking or a tender boat exploration of the fiord’s quiet coves and sheltered inlets (weather permitting). These guided activities offer close-up views of the rainforest, geology, and wildlife that define this remarkable environment.
When you’re ready to unwind, settle into your private ensuite cabin for a comfortable night on the water. Wake to the peaceful early-morning light filtering across the fiord and enjoy a continental breakfast as the cliffs and waterfalls return to life in the morning sun. With exceptional hospitality, guided exploration, and the chance to experience Milford Sound from sunset through sunrise, this overnight cruise offers one of the most immersive and rewarding ways to discover Fiordland.
Available between the months of October - May only.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
