An overnight cruise amidst spectacular Milford Sound, is a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience.

When the day visitors depart a silence descends. 

Depart from the Milford Sound wharf in the late afternoon and cruise the full length of Milford Sound to the Tasman Sea accompanied by a specialist nature guide.

The cruise style is relaxed, allowing plenty of time to view the fiord’s spectacular waterfalls, rainforest, mountains and wildlife.

On board the Milford Mariner you will cruise the full length of this spectacular fiord to the Tasman Sea before anchoring for the night in sheltered Harrison Cove.

The Milford Mariner offers you a very special dinner, bed and breakfast experience. 

After the days activities, enjoy a delicious evening buffet in the spacious saloon before retiring to your private cabin.
