Milford Sound

Woke up really early this morning about 7am so we could make it to Milford Sound by 9 on the off chance they would have available spots on the boats. The drive there was cold and very foggy. It was so pretty seeing the fog around the mountains, it just kept getting prettier as we drove along the route. We made it in pretty good timing. We went straight the the kiosk and they had still spots on the 9:00am or several on a smaller more in depth cruise at 9:40 so we decided to do that cruise. We had a quick tea and hot chocloate and were on our way to the dock. After a short wait we boarded our small explorer boat. It was a double story boat with most of up stairs being outside, we where lucky enough to grab a spot outside at the end of the boat. The cruise was absolutely amazing!!! The view was spectacular so many mountains exceeding 100 meters with fog along the top of them. We drove up the left side all the way until the Tasman Sea and then journeyed back on the other side. We explored close to several waterfalls where the water drenched the front of the boat, we also saw several seals and penguins along the journey. There was also some very yummy soup we both had on the cruise, this help warm us as it was freezing on the boat. We both enjoyed the cruise!Read more
