Sinbad Sanctuary Project
Southern Discoveries is passionate about preserving New Zealand’s most photographed mountain (Sinbad Gully at the base of Mitre Peak) and help it to become a sanctuary for native species.
Kayaking – Soft Adventure
‘Southern Discoveries’ have applied to operate a kayak operation in Milford Sound in conjunction with the new Discovery Centre. The new single-storey kayak facility would sit right alongside the Observatory, joined by an elevated walkway and sitting on a new pontoon which would replace an existing structure.
A maximum of 15 passengers would be taken on up to four trips a day, which would include a Boat Cruise in Milford Sound (2hours), a visit to the Underwater Observatory, and a one-and-a-half hour guided kayak trip within the shelter of Harrison’s Cove.
