As Milford Sound’s original operator with 70+ years of experience, Southern Discoveries offers different ways to reach the fiord. Our small-group trips in a Mercedes Sprinter vehicle (maximum 12 guests) pair with the Discover More Cruise or the fully hosted Captain’s VIP Cruise. Every Southern Discoveries experience comes with the same friendly team and local expertise; the difference is the travel style, giving you freedom to choose the experience that suits you best.
