About Us:
Explore Milford Sound above and below
At the Milford Deep Underwater Observatory visitors descend 10.4 metres, the equivalent of a four storied building, leading down beneath the sea. Once down in the viewing chamber people are able to view, from within a metre, intimate and undisturbed life in a vibrant underwater community. Courtship displays, territorial disputes, raising young and real life dramas unfold as nature’s cycles come and go. Since opening many rare and unusual events have been recorded.
Only accessible by boat, it can be incorporated as part of your Milford Sound Cruise (Red Boats, Real Journeys, Mitre Peak Cruises or Cruising Milford Sound Ltd) or take the Underwater Observatory Shuttle. See rare undersea species of fish, black coral, snake stars and more in their natural environment
