Check out our Coach & Nature Cruise.
There are very few places on the planet like Milford Sound’s underwater environment. Here, a phenomenon known as ‘deep-water emergence’ occurs where freshwater meets seawater and species which normally live at great depths survive in much shallower environments. Black Coral is known as a deep-sea coral, however, here in Milford Sound it is found just 10 metres below the surface. For an in-depth exploration of this incredible environment, add a visit to New Zealand’s only floating underwater observatory to your cruise in Milford Sound.
A Picnic lunch is available for purchase on all departures. It is freshly prepared daily and includes:
There are four available options; regular, vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free. When you book online, please select your preference.
Experience Milford Sound magic with our Milford Sound Coach & Cruise day trip from Queenstown. Take a guided adventure to Milford Sound with our friendly team offering 60 years of local knowledge. Our expert drivers will entertain you with their insight and knowledge, while showing you the best photo stops and short walks on the incredible road to Milford Sound. Once in Milford you’ll join the original Nature Cruise to explore the 8th wonder of the world.
Cruise on our small boat while our friendly skipper and boat hosts chat with you and answer your questions. Drink glacial water, touch natural artefacts and get under massive waterfalls. The adventure continues at the Milford Sound Underwater Observatory where you can experience the amazing world beneath the surface. Descend 64 steps (10 metres) underwater into a large viewing area where windows open your eyes to this underwater haven. Unlike an aquarium, the fish are free to come and go; it’s the people who are contained. Stay a little longer and you won’t just see Milford Sound, you’ll experience it!
