Pure Milford - Milford Sound Cruise

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the timeslot you have booked.
Cruise duration: Up to 2 Hours

Start your journey with a picturesque drive en route to one of New Zealand’s most iconic destinations, as the journey unveils the treasures of the world-renowned Fiordland National Park, alongside expert commentary from your driver-guide.

After numerous scenic stops along the Milford road, board Pure Milford’s modern and spacious catamaran and marvel at the magic of Milford from every angle through large windows and spacious viewing decks.

Soak up 360 panoramic views on one of the large outdoor viewing spaces or settle into the comfortable seating indoors enjoying the on-board amenities such as the cafe and the free tea and coffee station.
Keep an eye out for dolphins and seals swimming in the waves and the presence of the Fiordland penguins navigating their natural habitat.

Visit the skipper for a chat in the open wheelhouse, or join the crew to feel the glacial spray on the front deck as the boat dips its nose into the Stirling Falls.

Experience the perfect blend of comfort and luxury with Pure Miford’s day trip to the 8th natural wonder of the world.
