Milford Sound Cruises and Activities from Te Anau

They say that no visit to New Zealand is complete without taking a cruise on the magnificent Milford Sound in Fiordland National Park. There are plenty of options available from Te Anau – from day to overnight cruises, cruise and walk combos, as well as kayaking trips.

Wanderer vs Mariner Overnight Cruises

Each cruise has the same focus on sharing the wonders of Milford Sound through in-depth commentaries and activities (wildlife viewing and cruising in the tender craft). However, they do differ:

- the Milford Mariner: offers private cabins with ensuite bathrooms and activities include kayaking or cruising in the tendercraft. Available mid-September - mid-May.

- the Milford Wanderer offers twin-share compartments with shared bathroom facilities and activities include a guided walk on part of the Milford Track or exploring the shoreline by tendercraft. Available November - March.
