About This Tour
Start your adventure by making your way to Milford Sound (self-drive) for a two-hour Nature Cruise. Get close to cascading waterfalls, spot seals basking on rocks, and watch for dolphins in the pristine waters while your skipper shares fascinating commentary about the fiord. The spacious vessel offers warm and comfortable indoor cabins as well as spectacular outdoor decks—both are ideal for photography and wildlife watching. The next day back in Te Anau (10:45am), enjoy an adventure at a family-owned farm, where you’ll be welcomed to explore real farming life. During your hour-long farm experience, watch an entertaining display of working dogs rounding up sheep across the paddocks. See a traditional sheep shearing demonstration, meet friendly farm animals, and enjoy morning tea while your hosts share stories about New Zealand farm life. Experience two of Fiordland's best attractions over two days.
