About

Your Milford Sound Adventure

Journey Across New Zealand’s Southern Alps

Start your day in Queenstown, boarding a comfortable coach for a scenic drive through the Southland region. Enjoy panoramic views as you leave sprawling farmlands behind and enter Fiordland National Park’s dramatic alpine environs, famed as one of New Zealand’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. Along the way, your guide will share stories and insights about the local history, wildlife and culture.

Exploring the Heart of Fiordland

Your journey to Milford Sound features several memorable stops, including the reflective Mirror Lakes, alpine valleys and ancient rainforests. Venture out for short walks at key scenic points. Each stop offers an opportunity to take photos or simply immerse yourself in this UNESCO World Heritage landscape, known for towering peaks and sparkling waterways. Keep an eye out for native birds and spot rare flora that thrive in this lush, temperate environment.

Milford Sound Boat Cruise

The highlight of the trip is a two-hour cruise through Milford Sound. Board a well-equipped vessel designed to maximise your viewing experience. As you glide across the fjord, marvel at steep cliffs, sheer rock faces and iconic waterfalls like the thundering Stirling Falls and Lady Bowen Falls. Stay alert for the thriving wildlife—fur seals basking on rocks, playful dolphins leaping through the water and, if you’re lucky, rare Fiordland crested penguins. Your boat features large windows, open decks and live commentary for the best possible encounter with Milford Sound’s wild beauty.

  • Complimentary tea and coffee are provided onboard so you can relax while soaking in the scenery.

  • Enjoy the unique chance to feel the spray from a waterfall while on deck.

Return to Queenstown

After docking, relax during your journey back to Queenstown. Reflect on a day spent surrounded by some of New Zealand’s most dramatic vistas and natural wonders.

  • Full-day duration (12–13 hours) with hotel pickup and drop-off available.

  • Small group upgrades offer an intimate atmosphere and more personalised service.
