Introduction

Milford Sound is hailed as the 'eighth wonder of the world' and New Zealand's most spectacular fjord. Cruises glide past sheer cliffs and waterfalls, among seals, penguins and dolphins, beneath Mitre Peak plunging into the sea — the most immersive nature cruise in the fiords. In rain the waterfalls roar fullest; on clear days snow peaks mirror the sea, and cruises often add commentary and deck dining.
