Enjoy the educational and informative commentary from our experienced driver guides as you travel through Fiordland’s famous National Park with plenty of short walks and photo stops at iconic spots such as Eglinton Valley, Knobs Flat and more. On arrival at Piopiotahi / Milford Sound, board one of our modern catamarans for an informative exploration of the region’s most famous fiord. The friendly crew will share what they know about their place, point out their flora and fauna neighbours, and ensure it's a day to remember. Tea, coffee, and lunch are complimentary (excludes Infants) and served from the licenced Café / Bar on board. Optional fly back upgrades available to Queenstown at the time of booking.

Each cruise exploration travels the full length of the fiord to the Tasman Sea and back, with the crew pointing out the highlights of their place such as cascading waterfalls, local flora and fauna and ever changing natural wonders. The Pure Milford team share their stories and local insights, and educate on the wondrous wildlife, geology and history. The highlight of the cruise is when the boat noses close to Stirling Falls so you can feel the spray of fresh glacial melt! Tea and coffee is complimentary throughout the cruise, with a licensed Café Bar offering hot and cold refreshments. Driving time from Te Anau is 2.5 hours, and 4.5 hours from Queenstown with paid parking available within walking distance of the terminal.

At 4-5 hours return, a fly cruise fly is the most time-efficient, and not to mention most magnificent, way to experience the Fiordland National Park by both sea and sky. With a guaranteed window seat on each aircraft, the outbound trip takes you over the Mt Aspiring National Park, with an epic flyover of Milford Sound. Once boarded your catamaran for a spellbinding cruise at Piopiotahi / Milford, the incredible onboard crew will share their wealth of local knowledge, help you spot wildlife from the wheelhouse or join you to feel the spray of fresh glacial melt from Stirling Falls. The return flight takes you over the Fiordland National Park and Lake Whakatipu before landing in Queenstown. Return transfers to Queenstown accommodation included.
