Unforgettable experience in the magnificent Fiordland. Knowledgeable captain, approaching up close to the waterfall, and stunning underwater observatory.

Great cruise. The Captian / Guide provided great commentary. The under water observatory is well worth doing just for the design/logistics let alone the sea life.

Amazing scenery and waterfalls, loved the whole cruise. Easy to organise the online tickets Viator, just turned up and less than a minute we were already on the boat.

Cruising Milford Sound was on the bucket list for my current trip around the world. Southern Discoveries provided a worthwhile and educational experience in the rain and fog which is so prevalent in the rainiest place in New Zealand. The captain offered a lot of insight, we got in close to magnificent waterfalls – of which there are hundreds during and after the rain – but the Underwater Observatory was closed due to – wait for it - excessive rain clouding the water. Good food was served, the tour departed exactly as scheduled and the cruise terminal is modern and clean with bathrooms and souvenirs.

It is a little bit of a walk from the parking lot to the depot for the cruise ships but it is worth it when you get on the comfortable, not overly crowded boat to ride around Milford Sound (Fjord). You can see most everything from either inside or outside. The views are breathtaking and the cruise is not to long or to short. As goldilocks would say... it is just right!
The underwater Observatory is a unique experience that adds a little more enjoyment to the trip.

We enjoyed our 1/2 day cruise on the sound. The captain was very informative. We had ample opportunity to take great photos. The Underwater Observatory was a treat. We learned a lot about the history of Milford Sound, the ongoing research carried out by the crew. Highly recommend them.
PS. They have a great picnic lunch you can reserve ahead of time. Plenty of good quality food and snacks.

The captain was very professional and skillful, it is so near to the waterfall and it enable us to view the rainbow formation by the waterfall!

The boat trip was awesome and the scenery simply stunning. Can see why it is called the 8th wonder of the world. The underwater observatory is fascinating and well worth a visit too. If you are visiting the area you must visit Milford sound.
Only negatives. Expensive parking and pretty mediocre cafe which could be greatly improved.

The cruise was excellent and ran really smoothly. Amazing views and helpful commentary. Really enjoyed the observatory but my highlight was the two close up experiences with dolphins. #SDShareandWin
