Once at Milford Sound, it's time to board your boat. The ship is a spacious vessel that has all the amenities you'll need to be comfortable on your journey, including a rooftop viewing deck, comfortable seating (with a view) and an on-site restaurant and bar. As you sail around the sound, be sure to look out for dolphins, seals, and penguins that may show their heads. You will cruise for 2 hours before returning to shore.
