Morning Guided Walk on the Milford Track

After brief introductions at the Milford Sound terminal, you'll embark on a short boat ride across Milford Sound's Deep Water Basin to Sandfly Point, adeptly named as you will see! This is the endpoint of the Milford Track, but the start of today's Milford hike.

From there, you'll begin your guided walk, meandering alongside the cascading Arthur River, then Lake Ada, on a well-formed track. Your destination and the halfway point is Giant's Gate waterfall. This spectacular waterfall is best viewed and photographed from the large swing bridge spanning the river. While here, you'll enjoy a hot drink and light snack, although you're welcome to bring your own hiking snacks as well. 

There is much to see, from the ancient trees towering above to the vibrant green ferns and mosses below. Walking in a small group with a maximum of 12 people, your nature guide will point out the native fauna and flora and share the fascinating human heritage of the track, bringing the area to life.

At the end of the guided walk, you'll return to the main wharf complex for your boat cruise.

Milford Sound Cruise

Enjoy Milford Sound's awe-inspiring scenery from the comfort of a small boat cruise as you sit back and relax. You'll cruise the length of the fiord and experience the beauty of Milford Sound in all its grandeur, including icons like Mitre Peak and the St Annes Point Lighthouse.

Listen to the informative commentary from the skipper, who will highlight points of interest along the way. These include the mighty Lady Bowen Falls, Lion Mountain, Copper Point, Seal Rock and Stirling Falls. 

With limited numbers, you are rewarded with an intimate experience of Milford Sound and unobstructed photo opportunities from the outdoor viewing decks.

Be sure to keep an eye out for seals basking in the sun, pods of dolphins or rare Fiordland Crested Penguins that can be found seasonally within the region. There is so much to see, and this cruise is a perfect way to round off your day.
