Encounter Nature Cruise – Interested in the flora, fauna, wildlife and history of Milford Sound? Taste glacial water, stand directly under Stirling falls, handle pounamu and have a nature specialist answer your questions on a relaxing 2 & 1/4hr Encounter Nature Cruise.

Scenic Cruise – No matter what the weather, enjoy the breathtaking scenery on a spacious, luxury scenic cruise. Expansive viewing decks provide panoramic photo opportunities, or if the weather is a little cooler relax inside with a hot drink and large windows to make the most of your Milford experience. There's also a wide selection of fine food available on board: from snacks to full international buffet, and an ever ready bar service.

Milford Discovery Centre and Milford Deep – A unique, interactive learning experience. Delve into the natural history, geology and environment of Piopiotahi (Milford Sound). Deepen your understanding of fiord formation, Maori pounamu (greenstone) intrepid explorers and early European tourism. Engage with the history and hardships of the Milford Road and Homer Tunner build, the Milford Track beginnings and the struggles of Milford's first settlers.
Hidden under the water in Harrison is a unique and beautiful underwater environment; there is nowhere else like it in the world. Situated in the middle of the Piopiotahi Marine Reserve, the Milford Deep Underwater Observatory lets everyone see in comfort and ease this special world that previously has been the exclusive realm of divers. Visitors descend into the large, fully air conditioned, undersea viewing area, which features large windows of excellent optical clarity providing exceptional close up detail of this deep magical world.
Milford Sound Discovery Centre and Milford Deep is available as an addition to all cruises apart from the 3.20pm.

Blue Duck Cafe and Bar – Enjoy lunch, dinner, morning or afternoon tea in one of the most picturesque locations in the world. Blue Duck Cafe is nestled in the heart of Milford Sound village with views over Mitre Peak. Relax with a coffee while you wait for you cruise or try a glass of wine in the evening while you take in the magic of Milford.
