As you soar westward, you'll witness the majestic glacial-fed rivers merging into the pristine waters of Lake Whakatipu. Upon entering Fiordland National Park, prepare to be captivated by an untouched world of towering peaks and lush valleys, where mountains majestically meet the sea.

Departing from Milford Sound/Piopiotahi Wharf, your cruise sails past the iconic Mitre Peak. Cruise the length of the fiord while listening to informative commentary from your skipper who will highlight points of interest along the way, including the mighty Bowen Falls, Lion Mountain, Copper Point, Seal Rock and Stirling Falls.
