The Milford Mariner is essentially a dinner, bed and breakfast expedition, and you can expect to be in the company of about 60 people when you go. Spending the night in ancient fiord, with the light disappearing behind the mountains, and the silence outside growing thicker, is a joyful experience. Seals and dolphins can often be seen in Fiordland's Milford Sound. The care and preservation of The Fiordland National Park is a wonder, the health of its water and inhabitants a marvel.
