Milford Sound Cruise
Planning to visit Milford Sound next October and was wanting to know what the day cruise is like. I tend to get sea sick so not sure if this is something that I can do or not. I can take Dramamine or wear a patch but is it rough at that time of the year? If I do go which boat company might have a more stabler boat?

The cruises are within the sound, so not out in open ocean, so very little chance of getting seasick. Try to avoid the mid-day cruises as they tend to be full of coach groups - much quieter later in the day.

I get sick just looking at boats, but my 5-6 cruises of Milford Sound have been completely queasy-free.
The water within the Sounds is smooth as glass. As the boats approach the sea to turn around, there is a bit of action, but it's very tame, even for me.
You should be fine.
Do you get car sick? If so, the roads could be a bigger issue.

This is all good news as I really wanted to be able to go out on the sound....will try to get on the earliest boat out to avoid the crowds. Don't really get car sick when I sit in the front seat and can look out so should be ok on the windy roads.
