Our trip will take you out of the fiord and into the sea, as it plots its course to the major attractions on offer in the fiord.

What facilities are onboard?

We have toilets located at the back of the boat on either side.

What weather can I expect?

Milford Sound receives over 6.8 metres of rainfall each year and can experience many different seasons in a single day.
