OVERVIEW

This 15-day expedition gives you access to 2 of New Zealand’s three world heritage sites onboard a luxury, small ship expedition vessel to explore the Fjordlands and the Subantarctic Islands. 
Using Zodiacs to access remote parts of Milford Sound, Dusky Sound and Doubtful Sound, get up and close to waterfalls towering over 150 metres tall as dolphins can be easily sited in one of the world’s most spectacular fjords.

The jaw dropping beautiful scenery you will experience from Le Soleal, matched with cuisine, service and expedition crew will be an experience of a lifetime, unlike anywhere else on Earth.
