Go Orange - Kayak and Cruise Milford Sound
An experience beyond compare, combining two of the best Milford Sound experiences in one day, enjoy a leisurely morning kayak followed by a nature cruise on the fiord in the afternoon.
Highlights
- Small friendly groups (8 kayakers per guide)
- Top quality sea kayaking equipment
- 2 hour cruise of Milford Sound included
- Experienced kayak guides (carry group safety and emergency equipment)
- Café and bar on board providing fresh, local meals and snacks
With an engaging and professional guide and small group sizes you’ll explore the spectacular Lady Bowen Falls. Experience the humbling power of floating amidst such vast and stunning panoramas as you sit in your sea kayak getting up close to Sinbad Gully – the valley of New Zealand's most photographed mountain of Mitre Peak. You’ll learn about the Sinbad Sanctuary Project and the special native wildlife that make this area their home.
As you paddle along the shoreline view the rainforest in beautiful detail. 2 - 2 ½ hours of kayaking is involved in this relaxing morning paddle, the tranquil waters make this an ideal place to paddle for both locals and first-time visitors.
Your kayaking adventure is followed by a 2-hour boat cruise of Milford Sound out to the Tasman Sea and return, see the pristine wilderness and experience panoramic views as you’ve never seen before.
Our newly refurbished Milford Haven is home to the Haven XPA on tap, custom-created by our very own Canyon Brewing, delightfully accompanied by Mt Rosa wine amongst other options. Complimented by fresh, local, delicious snack and meal options with comfortable outward-facing seats, this is the go-to boat to enjoy the epic and powerful surrounds.

Incredible trip through Milford Sound
Me and my partner booked to go on this trip 5 days in advance from bookme.com. We were absolutely blown away by the whole trip. We were in a small group of 6 people to one guide (Brody) who took us on a gentle 2.5 hour trip around the Fjord. The scenery was incredible and Brody was hugely knowledgable about the area and we had plenty of breaks where we moored together to discuss the geography, cultural significance and history. We returned for the cruise which took us all the way along the Fjord to get a greater appreciation for its length and beauty. Could not recommend this trip enough, it was the highlight of my holiday. 5*.

Breathtaking, absolute must do
The kayaking part of this activity was breathtaking. You'll paddle through of the sound that are only accessible by kayak, and all you can hear are the birds and the sound of the water is it magical. The cruise was great for getting up close to the big waterfalls and going all through the main sound part Mitre Peak etc. All in all a magical day but kayaking was the real highlight and surprise.

Best way to see Milford sound!
White possibly the best experience ever! There's nothing like sitting on a kayak whilst the sun is slowly coming up over the beautiful Milford sound. You get so close to waterfalls, and the shear rock face! Our guide nacho was amazing, he was very knowledgeable, great photographer for us and just a good laugh, he really made the trip a great experience. Can't recommend this enough for everyone! Thanks again guys!

A great way to see Milford Sound
Kayaking on Milford Sound was incredible. Our guide (Josh) made sure that we all enjoyed ourselves regardless of whether we had kayaked before and kept up an entertaining and informative commentary. This is definitely a great way to see such a beautiful place from two different perspectives - each go to different areas so he views are all special.
