Experience a new way to journey to Piopiotahi Milford Sound, designed with comfort, care and connection at its heart. This first of its kind Business Class day trip invites you to slow down and discover Fiordland through thoughtful hosting, rich storytelling and exceptional food.

Travel in style aboard Altitude Tours Mercedes Sprinter vehicles with panoramic glass roofs, leather seating, pillows, warm wool blankets, complimentary wifi and charging at every seat. With a small group on board, the journey is relaxed and unhurried, with your professional driver sharing insights into the landscapes and stories of Fiordland. Along the Milford Road you will stop at carefully selected viewpoints for quiet moments and scenic photographs. A morning tea break in Te Anau introduces the day with barista brewed coffee and fresh pastries.

Upon arrival in Milford Sound you will step aboard the MV Sinbad for a refined small group cruise. The vessel has a bespoke interior created by New Zealand designers, offering booth and lounge style seating that feels calm, intimate and welcoming. You will be greeted with a glass of Cloudy Bay sparkling wine as the boat glides into the fiord. Throughout the cruise dedicated hosts share cultural narratives, natural history and the stories of the people who shaped this region.

A five course tasting menu created by chef Tom Hishon is served as the landscape unfolds around you. Each course is inspired by the seasonal ingredients of Fiordland and crafted with purpose. Dietary preferences and requirements are happily catered for with advance notice, and an optional wine pairing is available for a deeper exploration of provenance and flavour.

Out on deck you can feel the cool mist of a waterfall, watch dolphins or seals moving through the water and on occasion see the rare Fiordland crested penguin. The skipper tailors each cruise to the conditions of the day and recent wildlife activity to ensure the best possible experience. From beginning to end this is a fully hosted, all inclusive journey that blends luxury, connection and the wild beauty of Fiordland.

Choose your preferred return option to complete your adventure:
