Milford Sound
Day & Overnight Cruise - Prices

Milford Sound is in Fiordland National Park, it is one of
New Zealand's most remote
tourist destinations.

The journey to Milford via the Milford Road is a special part
of the trip. The road follows gin clear trout rivers that meander through glacially carved valleys.

Alpine lakes and wide ranges
of tussock grasslands offset
the rugged mountain peaks.

The scale of the landscape is breathtaking, with waterfalls at
their very best on a rainy day.

Milford Sound can be accessed by several options including coach transport that connects with a cruise tour, small plane flights, helicopter flights: either one-way or round-trip combined with coach transport.

Sounds or Fiords? A 'sound' is a river valley that has been flooded due to the land sinking below sea level. Fiords are created by glacial action that produces u-shaped valleys with steep cliffs, also characterised by shallow entrances that slope quickly seaward to deep water.

Early Europeans exploring the Southern Coast line bestowed the names of Sounds onto these dramatic valleys, the mistake can be understood when you realise that many of these early sailors were of English and Welsh extraction and were not familiar with fiords.

Winter: June, July, Aug. Milford Road can be affected by avalanches, it's advisable to book the coach/cruise or landrover/cruise option.
