MITRE PEAK CRUISESCounter Refurbishment
Leading the way in personalised and uncrowded cruising, Mitre Peak Cruises offer a cruise with a difference - time to explore and understand the nature and power of Milford Sound - relaxed, unhurried.
In line with their emphasis on green and eco friendly, they have also recently refurbished and extended their Milford Sound counter space at the Visitor Centre.
The green hues of the livery reflect the dappled shades of green seen in the native bush in and around Milford Sound and Fiordland National Park. Images of seals, penguins and dolphins herald the hidden beauties that may be seen frolicking during the two hour return cruise out to The Tasman Sea.
With two small vessels, this means close-up and personal viewing - Go further, see more!
