Milford Sound Cruise

The Southern Discovery cruise was outstanding. Weather was bright and sunny which was ideal for the iconic views and the journey itself. The commentary on the cruise was clear and in English giving us details of everything in and around Milford Sound.

Amazing trip and service

14/4/25 2:45pm trip of Southern Discoveries: Warm welcome from the staff, they cared about everyone on the board, helped taking photos and reminding the guests to see the views. Detailed explanations and skilled sailing from the captain! Delicious chicken sandwiches and coffee also, got life experience! Cheers! Southern Discoveries, awesome team!
