Boutique boat, big encounters, with a maximum of 75 guests

  • Everything you get: 1-hour 45-minute cruise on a boutique vessel, close approaches to Stirling Falls for spray moments, live skipper-led commentary, wildlife at seal colonies, relaxed crowd-free decks, hot drinks, and flexible positioning for photos.
  • Why choose this: Best for photographers, couples, and crowd-avoiders. Smaller boats mean closer angles, sharper wildlife shots, and a more personal vibe, without luxury pricing.
  • Upgrades: Choose just the cruise, or pair with a Milford Track walk for a land-and-sea combo in one day.
