What you can expect

Cruise the beautiful Milford Sound with a lunch cruise on board a purpose-built sightseeing vessel. Departing from Te Anau, you'll travel to the departure point at Milford by a glass roof coach before boarding the boat.

For a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes, you'll explore the gorgeous Sound, taking in the breathtaking sites, spotting local wildlife and learning about the region. Complimentary tea and coffee can be enjoyed on board as you cruise around, and passengers have the option of pre-purchasing seasonal packed lunch.

The whole experience is complimented by on board commentary which will teach you about the region including the history of the Sound and the animals that live in here. The commentary will also help to point out any wildlife spotted along the journey.

Once you've docked back at Milford, you'll begin the return journey back to your Te Anau accommodation. This is a comfortable and scenic way to explore Milford Sound in the stunning Fiordland region.
