Milford Sound Cruise and Milford Track Hike Combo from Te Anau

About this activity

Experience a Milford Sound cruise and Milford Track hike in one incredible day with return coach transfers from Te Anau included. Cruise the fiord getting close to thundering waterfalls while spotting seals and dolphins, and our expert crew share stories about this geological wonder. After your cruise, transfer to the water taxi for a 10-minute boat ride to the Milford Track. Explore the track at your own pace (approx. 11km return), listening for native birds and walking in ancient beech forest before arriving at Giant Gates Falls. Our multi-lingual app provides information as you walk. All transfers are coordinated so you can experience two of New Zealand's most famous attractions in one day, plus enjoy the spectacle of the Milford road without having to drive yourself.
