Milford Sound Cruise with Southern Discoveries, New Zealand.
Explore Milford Sound from new heights as cascading waterfalls thunder into the depths below, see rainbows form as they catch a glimpse of sunshine and get right up close to some of the resident wildlife.
Then come along for the ride as kayakers paddle through crystal clear waters with Pembroke Glacier in sight. Now can you see why Rudyard Kipling describes this region as the '8th wonder of the world'?

Milford Sound Encounter Nature Cruise, South Island, New Zealand
This video is about my day trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound in 2013. We took the Milford Sound Encounter Nature Cruise around lunch time on that day. Took off around 7am in the morning and got back to Queenstown after 8pm at night, it was a long day's drive but it is worth it. The scenery along the way is amazing and it makes you forget about the time. The cruise is a must take in the South Island. Apart from the breathtaking amazing mountains, you can also see some wildlife, have the chance to taste the 100% pure and real spring water! The best water I have ever tasted so far!

MILFORD SOUND, NZ | glass top bus, scenic nature cruise, flight over the mountains!
♥ Wednesday, October 26, 2016 - On our first official day of tourist-ing, we woke up at the crack of dawn to take a really long scenic bus trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound. On the way, we saw a peak of the actual Misty Mountains from Lord of the Rings! At Milford Sound, we took a scenic nature cruise. Lastly, we flew back to Queenstown (about a 1/2 hr flight versus the 3.5 hr bus ride!). We were really fortunate to have fantastic weather for our cruise -- we hear that two out of three days, it rains! I would still highly recommend visiting Milford Sound regardless - it is stunningly beautiful!
··· A FEW MORE DETAILS ···
Our trip was from Sunday, October 23, 2016 to Sunday, November 13, 2016. So 22 days in total, with a good chunk of those days being in transit days.

Milford Sound Cruise | Southern Discoveries- I SAW DOLPHINS!
Southern Discoveries' Milford Sound Cruise through the eighth wonder of the world has been one of my most epic experiences in New Zealand so far.
From seeing wild seals and dolphins up close to boating right underneath a Milford waterfall- the Encounter Nature Cruise truly can't be beaten.
Seriously guys, if you ever have the chance to make it to the beautiful Milford Sound, Southern Discovery's Encounter Nature Milford Sound Cruise is the one to go with. This is not sponsored at all- I just loved it that much! You get all the benefits of the other cruises with plenty of space to relax inside with a nice warm cup of tea, but you also get that extra spark of adventure.
