Milford Sound Nature Cruise so cool

We were stoked to get rain on the day we went to Milford and it was so magical. Staff on arrival were friendly, moving us to an earlier time. The staff on board were welcoming, and ensured our safety and we learnt stuff along the way. It’s hard to put into words what this experience was like, and I can see why it is called the 8th wonder of the world. Didn’t have time to take many photos because we were there in the moment enjoying it.

Milford sound Mature cruise

Amazing views of mountains and rovers but definitely not worth driving 10 hours from queenstown for the 2hr cruise. There are similar or much better views on the way and for all other drives. This can be skipped for sure. Unless you go in peak rainy season where you can see multiple waterfalls
