Piopiotahi - Milford Sound, New Zealand

Milford Sound is the northern most of 14 fiords that make up the spectacular coastline of Fiordland National Park, part of Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area and our Cruize Milford boat tours travel the 16km length of Milford Sound to the Tasman Sea and back. .

Visitors arriving in Milford Sound for boat tours tend to be magnetised instantly as the Cleddau Valley reveals Milford's breathtaking landscape and its dominant landmark mountains, Bowen Falls and the sheer cliffs of the fiord.

Take the time before your Milford Sound boat tours begin to walk the foreshore tracks and experience the grandeur and the enormous forces that carved out this place.

Stunning views can be obtained and awesome photo opportunities of the fiord, Mitre Peak and Bowen Falls can be had with very little effort. Mitre Peak, dominating the skyline at 1692m, a pinnacle of rock that forms the world's highest sea cliff, is one of the most photographed mountains in New Zealand.
