Overview
Instead of glimpsing snippets of extraordinary beauty from the Milford Road, travelers in the known enjoy the entire landscape in context on this cruise of Piopiotahi, Milford Sound. Slowly turn your attention across the horizon to see glacier-carved cliffs rising from the inky waters below - when you’re travelling by boat, there’s plenty of time to take it all in before framing up the perfect shot to preserve the moment.
- 2-hour cruise through the full length of the fiord past the majestic Mitre Peak towards the Tasman Sea
- Enjoy Fiordland’s dramatic landscape from the indoor lounge or outdoor viewing deck
- Watch out for dolphins, seals and the rare Fiordland crested penguins
- Multiple daily departures to suit any itinerary

So glad we opted for a boat tour, it was wonderful and better as expected! Not crowded, great views, got close to waterfalls, and also loved that they used buzzers for the cafe so you didnt have to stand in line long

Beutifull scenes and good food served. Wildlife to be seen. Bring a warm jacket, can be windy and cold. Good selection of activities.

Excellent experience on the cruise with RealNZ! My fourth cruise in Milford and one of my favourites. :)
Friendly and informative staff, for a beautiful cruise where we even saw dolphins!
It was very easy to book with Viator — I didn’t know about this platform before seeing it on a bloggers article and the website was super user-friendly, which I appreciated.

Amazing trip! 2 hr trip is sufficient to go through all the spots and for us to take pictures. The cafe provides hot food, which is a bonus !

C’est vraiment une croisière hors du réel époustouflant et magnifique. Les éléments étaient déchaînés, spectaculaire. La route pour y accéder est fabuleuse également.
