-- About this video --

Yesterday, you saw us cruise in Milford Sound. Now today, see what it’s like to kayak in Milford Sound! It’s the more active and adventurous way to explore Milford Sound!

We head down to the Roscos Milford Kayaks base where we get kitted out with thermals and hats for the Morning Glory kayaking tour. It’s the early morning kayaking tour in Milford Sound. It’s also one of the more adventurous tours with a lot of paddling as we are going to be covering a lot of water today. 

He hit the water in a double kayak and paddle toward our first sight, Sinbad Gully. We are told heaps of information about the geology and history of Milford Sound by our knowledgably Milford Sound kayaking guide. 

After kayaking along the edge of Milford Sound and right underneath it’s mountains, we cross Milford Sound to aim for Stirling Falls. We even kayak under Stirling Falls only to be swept away by the force of the 151m waterfall. Next, we arrive at a seal colony where we get closer to the seas than even before in our kayaks. 

The Morning Glory Tour with Rosco’s Milford Sound Kayaks usually takes kayakers out to the end of Milford Sound, but because the weather is looking bad, the tour is cut short and we are picked up by water taxi halfway through Milford Sound. 

So what do you think of a kayak tour in Milford Sound. Is this the way you would see Milford Sound? LUK in the comments.
