 The service and boat were great, probably better than I expected. Pity you couldn't have controlled the weather but we still had a great time. I would have liked to have spent longer at the underwater observatory.

Discover the moods of Milford
|
Milford Sound (Piopiotahi) is a Fiord of spectacular beauty and natural grandeur...
It is a deep, icy blue waterway flowing into the Tasman Sea and is part of the majestic Fiordland National Park.
Wet or fine the magic of Milford Sound will enthral you. Annually, Milford Sound receives between 5 to 9 metres of rain and you will see waterfalls thunder down the sheer cliffs of the Fiord.
Carved over time by glaciers the deepest part of the Fiord is 400 metres. Dale Point denotes the entrance to the Sound and is 12km from the Milford Wharf Visitor Centre. The actual length of the Fiord is 16km from St Annes Point.
With so many photo opportunities that abound, taking a camera on your Red Boat Cruise is a must. Milford Sound not only boasts spectacular scenic wonders, it also teems with beautiful wildlife including dolphins, seals and the Fiordland Crested penguin (one of the worlds rarest penguins).
