Nature or Scenic Cruise?

So you’ve decided you want to sit back, relax and take the coach to Milford Sound (great decision by the way!) - What next?

The only hard part about your unforgettable day ahead is deciding whether you would like to do the Nature or Scenic Cruise in Milford Sound.

It is worth pointing out that both boat trips are operated by Real Journeys who have been operating tours in Milford Sound since 1970- so it is safe to say they really know their stuff!

No matter which tour you choose you will get to see the breath-taking Mitre Peak, be dwarfed by sheer granite cliffs and get up and personal with some of the most powerful waterfalls you’ll ever see!

Scenic Cruise:
At 1 hour 40 minutes in duration, take in your Jurassic like settings on board the modern and spacious scenic vessels. No matter what weather Fiordland throws at you, these boats have you covered (literally!). With high glass windows and covered outdoor viewing decks, there are plenty of places to get some beautiful photos of your day out.

A commentary is delivered in multiple languages throughout this trip, with the added bonus of a yummy buffet lunch included in the price!

Tip: The Scenic is a great option in Winter when there are less crowds!
