Southern Discoveries combines a self-guided 11-kilometre Milford Track walk with a two-hour Milford Sound nature cruise. Choose to walk at 9am or cruise at 10:30am, then enjoy rainforest, waterfalls, seals, dolphins, live commentary, tea, coffee, and indoor or outdoor viewing.
“The walk from Sandfly Point was great though had to take our boots off and wade through a few big streams as it had rained a lot the previous few hours. Beautiful rainforest and waterfalls. Would have liked to have been able to see a bit more of the river which was in full flow! The cruise was informative and the landscape beautiful. Great commentary.”
From Te Anau, you’ll ride through Fiordland, cruise Milford Sound for up to two hours, then take a water taxi to the Milford Track. Walk 11km return to Giant Gates Falls at your own pace, with coach transfers, crew commentary, and a free location-based app included.
Pick a coast, a hull or a season.
