About

Your experience

Welcome to an Iconic New Zealand Escape

Begin your journey in the picturesque town of Te Anau, where you’ll meet your experienced guide and board a comfortable, modern coach. Enjoy large windows or a glass-roof for panoramic views as you set off toward the world-renowned Milford Sound. The road trip itself is a highlight, weaving through stunning Fiordland scenery and offering a glimpse into New Zealand’s wild beauty.

Spectacular Road to Milford

Your coach journey takes you along the shores of Lake Te Anau before entering the vast, unspoiled Fiordland National Park. The route is dotted with stops at famous locations such as the Mirror Lakes, where mountains are reflected with perfect clarity on still days. You’ll visit Eglinton Valley, a sweeping glacier-carved landscape, and take short walks to photo points like Pops Lookout and Christie Falls. These breaks highlight natural wonders and allow you to fully experience the changing landscapes as lush forests open to rugged peaks, rivers and waterfalls.

The Homer Tunnel and Majestic Arrival

One memorable stage of the journey is passing through Homer Tunnel, a feat of engineering that opens onto a dramatic world of towering cliffs. Emerging on the Milford side, you enter a landscape that has been shaped by glaciers for thousands of years, setting the scene for the next phase of your tour.

Milford Sound Cruise Adventure

Upon arrival, step aboard a well-equipped Milford Sound cruise vessel. Over the next two hours, you’ll cruise through the spectacular fiord that Rudyard Kipling once described as the eighth wonder of the world. Take in dramatic waterfalls, steep cliffs plunging into the water, and the famous Mitre Peak rising sharply from the sound. Whether inside the vessel or on the outdoor viewing decks, you’ll have the chance to spot seals lounging on rocks, playful dolphins gliding alongside the boat, and if you’re lucky, penguins making an appearance. Enjoy informative commentary throughout to deepen your understanding of this unique area.

Tea and coffee are provided so you can relax while gazing at the glacier-carved surroundings. The vessel’s design makes it easy to move between indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring great views regardless of weather. With each turn and waterfall, Milford Sound reveals more of its captivating geological and ecological stories.

Return to Te Anau

After your cruise, rejoin your guide for the comfortable journey back to Te Anau, retracing the scenic route with more opportunities for wildlife spotting or photo stops as time allows. Reflect on your day in one of New Zealand’s most beloved natural areas and arrive back in Te Anau with lasting memories and a camera full of breathtaking views.
