이 체험에 대해
This 2-hour small boat cruise offers an intimate way to experience Milford Sound's dramatic landscapes. You'll journey through the fiord with an informative nature guide, getting close enough to towering waterfalls that you'll feel the spray. The smaller vessel provides excellent wildlife viewing opportunities for spotting seals, dolphins, and the rare Fiordland Crested Penguin.
The experience includes access to an underwater observatory where you'll descend 10 metres below the surface to observe rare black coral in its natural habitat and encounter colourful marine life. You can drink pure glacial water and touch natural artifacts during this authentic Queenstown adventure. The boat features both outdoor decks for panoramic views and comfortable indoor lounges, ensuring you can enjoy the fiord regardless of weather conditions.
