Mitre Peak Cruises

Mitre Peak Cruises leads the way in small, scenic cruises of spectacular Milford Sound, offering regular two-hour trips traversing the deep waters of Milford Sound. A Mitre Peak cruise take you into the very heart and soul of the Fiord and is also the only cruise option that goes past St Anne’s lighthouse and out into the Tasman Sea, thus giving passengers a chance to enter Milford Sound from the outside, approaching it just as the first sealers did at the end of the 18th century.

Informative guides point out scenic highlights along the way, such as the Bowen Falls (dropping 160 metres seaward), Sinbad Gully (a classic example of a hanging valley), snow-capped Mount Pembroke, and the awe-inspiring Mitre Peak itself, towering 1,692 metres from the ocean floor.

Having smaller launches allows Mitre Peak Cruises to navigate closer to the shoreline, getting passengers up close to the incredible surroundings. Purpose-built for Milford waters, the boats make great viewing platforms should you encounter the local fur seal colonies, the rare Fiordland crested penguins or dusky dolphins.
