MILFORD, DOUBTFUL & STEWART ISLAND<br />
NEW ZEALAND<br />
sounds of silence & southern lights<br />
More dramatic than an All Blacks v.<br />
Wallabies world cup final, welcome<br />
to the mighty fiordlands. Scoured<br />
by ancient glaciers into giant mistswirling<br />
peaks, tumbling falls and<br />
glassy waters, choose from day or<br />
overnight Milford Sound cruises or<br />
seasonal overnight boats to remote<br />
Doubtful Sound. And while we’re on<br />
otherworldly landscapes, why not<br />
journey to the continent’s edge and<br />
Stewart Island – one of the only<br />
places on Earth where you can see<br />
the celestial Southern Lights.<br />

on one of three viewing decks, getting up close to waterfalls, wildlife<br />
and rainforest as you sail out to the Tasman Sea and back.<br />

catamaran, informative commentary, complimentary tea/coffee. Snacks can be<br />
