Nestled in the World Heritage listed Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound is described as the 'Eighth Natural Wonder of the World'. The only way to truly appreciate the splendor of this area is to enjoy a spectacular Milford Sound Red Boat Cruise.
A cruise is the perfect way to discover the beautiful scenery of this famous fiord, including the incredible Mitre Peak, which at a height of 1,692 meters (5,560 feet), is one of the highest mountains in the world to rise directly from the ocean floor, as well as stunning waterfalls that crash down into the serene waters. Wildlife such as dolphins, seals and penguins are often seen in their natural environment. The Milford Sound Red Boats cruise along the southern side of Milford Sound out to the Tasman Sea and return up the northern side, stopping at all points of interest along the way, including Bowen Falls, Stirling Falls and Seal Point.
You also have the option to included a visit to the Milford Sound Deep Underwater Observatory in Harrisons Cove. Here, visitors descend into a viewing chamber 12 meters (40 feet) below the sea and view a vibrant underwater community of deep sea species and rare corals, only a meter away on the other side of the viewing windows.
A full commentary is given on board the cruise on the flora and fauna of the Sound. All vessels are fully licensed and offer a buffet lunch option.
