Milford Sound Red Boat Cruises

Nestled in the World Heritage Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound is described as the “Eighth Natural Wonder of the World”. The only way to truly appreciate the splendour of this area is to enjoy a spectacular Milford Sound Red Boat Cruise. A cruise is the perfect way to discover the beautiful scenery of this famous fiord, including the incredible Mitre Peak and stunning waterfalls that crash down into the serene waters. Wildlife such as dolphins, seals and penguins are often seen in their natural environment. The Milford Sound Red Boats cruise along the southern side of Milford Sound out to the Tasman Sea and return up the northern side, stopping at all points of interest including Bowen Falls, Stirling Falls and Seal Point.   

Designated departures include a visit to Milford Deep Underwater Observatory in Harrisons Cove. Here visitors descend into a viewing chamber to stand 10.4 metres below the sea and view a vibrant underwater community of deep sea species and rare corals, only a metre away on the other side of the viewing windows.
