Morning guided walk on the Milford Track

Your guided walk starts at Deepwater Basin, Milford Sound, beginning with a short boat ride to Sandfly Point.  

Enjoy an easy 5.5 km (11 km return) walk alongside the cascading Arthur River and moody Lake Ada, on a well-maintained track. From the ancient canopy trees towering above to the emerald-green ferns below and the birdsong that echoes through the trees, it is a unique World Heritage Area best explored by foot. Our destination is the impressive Giant Gate  This spectacular waterfall is best viewed from the large swing bridge spanning the river. 

We then return at a leisurely pace, taking the time to enjoy this incredible forest.  The small group of 12 walkers to 1 guide provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the fascinating human heritage of the track. On completion of the walk, an opportunity is made for photos at the sign marking the end of the track. Walkers then re-join the boat for the transfer back to Milford.

Afternoon boat cruise
Enjoy Milford Sound’s awe-inspiring scenery from the comfort of a small boat cruise with Mitre Peak Cruises.

With purpose-built observation lounges and large decks, you can be sure you will get some great viewing opportunities. You’ll see the geological drama of sheer cliffs, massive waterfalls, glaciers and rainforests.

Keep a look out for wildlife like seals basking on the rocks or dolphins. During the cruise, friendly crew provide commentaries and point out the sights such as Mitre Peak and the Pembroke Glacier.

At the conclusion of the boat cruise, you will be transported back to Te Anau.
