What you can expect
Explore the breathtaking beauty of Milford Sound and be in awe of your surroundings as you retrace the historic steps of the first European settlers and sealers who entered the fiord in the late 18th century. Mitre Peak Cruises allow you to experience this ancient natural wonder from the comfort of a purpose-built, all-weather boat. Thanks to the small size of their launches, they can access areas larger vessels cannot, taking you close to the stunning shorelines and incredible features of Milford Sound. Departing regularly throughout the day, each cruise offers two glorious hours on the deep waters of Milford, including a journey past St Anne's Lighthouse and out towards the Tasman Sea.
The friendly, professional cruise guides are experts at spotting local wildlife, and you may encounter Dusky dolphins, Fiordland crested penguins and playful fur seals along the way. From the deck, take in spectacular sights including the 160-metre Bowen Falls, the hanging valley of Sinbad Gully, Mount Pembroke and the iconic Mitre Peak rising 1,692 metres from the ocean floor. Regardless of the weather, you will be captivated by the pure natural beauty of Milford Sound and Fiordland National Park.

It was a lovely trip. The crew friendly. Unfortunately it was difficult to listen to the loadspeakers. I would do it again.
