Overview

Join talented and knowledgeable guides on a journey along one of New Zealand's most scenic drives. All guides have unique and insightful stories to share, and spill the secrets of their beautiful backyard as you travel through lush rainforest, glacier carved valleys, alpine lookouts and much more. Enjoy spectacular short walks and incredible photo stops before arriving at the main event, magical Milford Sound. On arrival at Milford Sound, board a spacious catamaran exploration of the region’s most famous fiord. As the boat travels the length of the fiord to the Tasman Sea, the welcoming crew will share what they know about their place, its wildlife, waterfalls, and fascinating history. Enjoy complimentary lunch before joining the crew for a dance in the spray off pure glacial melt as the boat noses close to Stirling Falls for a refreshing finale!

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Kiwi Country

    The Queenstown coach makes a scheduled stop at Kiwi Country, Te Anau before beginning the exploration of the Fiordland National Park, and it is here that you will meet your driver.

    15 minutes

  • Fiordland National Park

    Embark on a stunning tour through the National Park to Milford Sound; where the journey is just as spectacular as the destination! Enjoy insightful and anecdotal storytelling from our experienced driver guides as they share the secrets of their beautiful back yard. Take advantage of the plentiful stops along the way for incredible photo ops and short nature walks through the heart of Fiordland at iconic points such as Elginton Valley, Mirror Lakes, Knobs Flat and Monkey Creek.

    3 hours

  • Milford Sound

    Step aboard on of our spacious catamarans and enjoy a scenic cruise along spectacular Milford Sound. Get up close and personal with the fiord's towering mountains, sheer cliffs and hanging valleys as the boat hugs the edges of the fiord throughout the cruise. Feel the spray from the waterfalls that cascade from an ancient rainforest high in the mountains and look out for New Zealand fur seal colonies and occasionally dolphins swimming nearby. As your cruise meanders past majestic Mitre Peak and as you navigate the length of Milford Sound to the Tasman Sea, let the scenery transport you back to a time of magical wilderness! Relax in the comfortable seating, grab a local beer or wine from the bar, soak up the scenery from the sun deck or join the famously friendly crew on the bow as the boat noses close to Stirling Falls for the refreshing finale.

    2 hours

  • Fiordland National Park

    The coach returns to Te Anau after the cruise without stopping along the way, giving you time to edit your photos, have a quick nap or just reflect on the cruise of a lifetime!

Awesome

Published on Feb, 2025

An unforgettable experience . Amazingly beautiful sites . The cruise was fantastic and our captain gave a great informative commentary interspersed with a touch of humour. Lunch was really lovely- yummy pie and loved our surprise picnic lunch bag. However, the trip home on the bus was scary and uncomfortable with our driver driving very fast and aggressively.

Excellent day trip

Published on Feb, 2025

Excellent day trip all round. Comfortable coach, good stops en route with excellent commentary from our driver Scarlet. Great staff on boat and very nice lunch provided.

Fantastic

Spectacular views and great comentry from bus driver and boat and even saw dolphins and seals plus a great lunch a must for everyone

Breathtaking views. Milford is a MUST! You will not regret it!

Published on Feb, 2025

Milford sound is a must if travelling to NZ! Honestly, the scenery is breathtaking. The coach driver was great, stopping at all the sights and photo ops along the way to Milford. The cruise was amazing! Lots of photo opportunities onboard and the staff happy to assist. Food provided onboard was tasty. Make sure to pack sunscreen and insect repellent. This was the second time I have done the Milford cruise and I would do again! Highly recommend!

Wonders of Milford

Published on Feb, 2025

A wonderful day with photo ops and great commentary. Mirror lake was a great visit. Everything ran well between coach and boat. Other passengers were good at not delaying on the stops. Highlight on the boat was the hot pies and the welcome chocomilk after being rained on.
