Itinerary

Milford Sound

2 h 30 min Admission included

The cruise begins and finishes at the same location - RealNZ Milford Sound Visitor Terminal, Milford Sound 9679.
Mitre Peak

Passing by

While cruising through Milford Sound, admire the iconic Mitre Peak. Rising dramatically above the fiord, its distinctive triangular summit is one of the most recognizable landmarks in New Zealand
Bowen Falls

Passing by

One of Milford Sound’s stunning two permanent waterfalls, Bowen Falls plunges 162 meters into the fiord. On clear days the spray catches the light; on rainy days it roars - either way, it is pure Milford magic
Stirling Falls

Passing by

Stirling Falls cascades 146 meters from a glacier-fed, U-shaped hanging valley between Elephant and Lion Mountains, making it Milford Sound’s second-largest permanent waterfall. Named after Captain Stirling, who navigated the HMS Cleo here in the 1870s, it’s a breathtaking sight. Step onto the deck to feel its refreshing mist

Piopiotahi Milford Sound is one of the world's most spectacular environments, and it comes with natural hazard risk. A large earthquake or tsunami is extremely unlikely during your visit, especially a short one. Even so, these hazards do pose a risk to life, and once you are there, your options to stay safe are limited.

What to do: If an earthquake feels LONG or STRONG, Get GONE. Move up and away from waterways (the fiord and rivers) as quickly as possible. If you see or hear a landslide, do the same.
