Milford Sound turns even more magical when the day crowds leave, and this overnight on the Milford Mariner lets you feel it all in peace. You’ll cruise the full length of the fiord, gliding past sheer cliffs, thundering waterfalls and iconic Mitre Peak while a nature guide points out seals, dolphins and the rainforest clinging to the rocks. The captain anchors in sheltered Harrison Cove for the night, where you sleep in a private en-suite cabin – single or twin-share – waking to the quiet sounds of water and birds. A hearty 3-course buffet dinner and cooked breakfast are included, and you can hop in the provided kayaks to paddle close to waterfalls or just drift in the calm. Small, comfortable boat with a real nature focus – the perfect way to experience Milford’s wild beauty from sunset to sunrise without rushing.
