Milford Sound feels magical during the day, but after the crowds leave it turns into pure peace – just you, the sheer cliffs, waterfalls and starry sky. This overnight on the intimate Fiordland Jewel keeps the group small so it never feels crowded. You’ll spend the day exploring by tender boat and kayaking close to the water for seal spotting and waterfall spray, with a guide sharing quiet stories about Fiordland’s wildlife. Evenings are for unwinding in the top-deck hot tub with a drink, followed by a three-course dinner and breakfast the next morning, all served with those incredible views. Sleep in a comfy ensuite cabin looking straight out to sea. Transfers from Queenstown or Te Anau can be added. The kind of relaxed overnight that lets you really feel Milford’s beauty when it’s at its most serene.
