      How likely are we to see wildlife in Fiordland?

      Although we cannot guarantee wildlife viewing, it is very likely that you will see the New Zealand fur seal, and likely more than just one or two! Dolphins have often been sighted swimming alongside cruise vessels. Two species of penguins make Milford Sound their home at various times throughout the year. Little blue penguins and the Fiordland crested penguin – known at the Tawaki. Often hard to find and see, it is always a delight to spot them when we do.
