★★Take an unforgettable journey through the magical Milford Sound and experience the true beauty of the South Island

One thousand years ago, Maori travelled overland to Milford in search of the much prized pounamu (greenstone). These treks from the east used traditional pathways across passes such as Mackinnon Pass on the Milford Track. Today, our awesomeNZ Milford Sound tour follows in the footsteps of the ancient Maori and takes you deep into Fiordland National Park. Explore the Fiord on the Encounter Cruise. Learn the history of this world famous region, travel through awe-inspiring landscapes, glacier carved valleys and cascading waterfalls.

Everyone ♥’s a FREE lunch!

Enjoy a delicious snackbox lunch onboard your cruise. Obento, Gourmet picnic and Indian snackbox lunch options are also available and must be prebooked.

★★★★★ "An amazing trip, I'd do it again in a heartbeat." - Mason, Jan 2012
A true traveler's love and appreciation of life and the natural beauty of New Zealand. A must do! An amazing travel there, so scenic and awe-inspiring. An even more breath taking view the entire way into Firodland National Park. Once into Milford Sound, one of the best experiences of your life.

This was the best tour that I have ever done and will be back in 2013 with my husband this time to do the same trip to the Milford Sound, it is as the name of the company awesome. This tour did also exceed all my expectations.

★★★★★ "The Milford tour was Awesome" - Katie, Oct 2011
The day started with an on time pick up from our local accommodation and from out first step on the bus with Dion, our day was underway. Our driver/tour guide was very knowledgable, funny and entertaining. We had an awesome day and getting there was just as awesome as our actual time at Milford Sound.. Thanks Dion.
