Milford Sound in the sunshine. - Great views. Crew was very friendly. Bring a jacket. It was chilly and breezy on deck, even in the summer.

Fantastic sites, great commentary, beautiful buffet. - Get there early to book in and line up. If you have the buffet you won’t be disappointed. This happens first thing so join the line and find a table. Be prepared for rain with wet weather jacket so you can be on the top deck for the best sites. If it rains you will get the most wonderful show of extra waterfalls.

Spectacular - Wonderful trip on Southern Discoveries vessel. Narration was informative and educational. Plenty of space to take photos of the stunning scene and waterfalls. Book an early trip though to avoid getting stuck behind the dozens of coachs travelling to get there late morning

Spectacular Milford Sound Cruise - This Milford Sound Cruise was nothing short of spectacular. The views were breathtaking, with cascading waterfalls, towering cliffs, and playful seals along the way. The boat was spacious, well-maintained, and offered plenty of viewing options - indoor comfort or open-air decks for the full experience. This is must do unforgettable Milford Sound Experience!
