MILFORD SOUND KAYAKING OPTIONS AND COSTS

The aim: 4 to 5 hours of kayaking on the fiord - the natural way to experience the dramatic beauty of this famous fiord - plus transport options. 
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY, ALL EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING PROVIDED.

Please see the EQUIPMENT section for what we provide and what you need to bring. 

The Milford experience is worth a full day so we give you that option - the journey there from Te Anau along the World Heritage Highway, kayaking on Milford Sound, the journey back to Te Anau. You can either spend the whole day with us (Option 1) or combine your time with us, with your own transport plans for the day (Options 2 to 5). 

Our guide can meet you at your Te Anau accommodation (6.30am) or the Divide (7.45am, the Routeburn Track trail head) or Milford (8.30am, Milford Sound Lodge car park) and leave you where you wish after the day's kayaking.

- we do the driving, you do the kayaking.
