The unparalleled Milford Sound can be explored on a day tour from Queenstown on a Small Group Coach & Cruise or the popular Milford Flight & Cruise option. If you have time, Milford Sound is best enjoyed on an Overnight Cruise that will give you the opportunity to revel in an enchanting liveaboard experience. 

Or take a cruise on the less well known but just as spectacular Doubtful Sound, the second largest fiord in the Fiordland National Park World Heritage area. Spend a night on board the exquisite Doubtful Sound Overnight Cruise or do a day tour from Queenstown. Whichever option you choose, the experience will remain with you for a long time to come.
