Enjoy a taste of luxury with a premium locally run Milford Sound expedition, designed to maximize your experience as you embark on a breath-taking scenic adventure to discover New Zealand’s own, Milford Sound!

Highlights

  • Explore stunning local scenery with comfortable relaxed travel on a luxury coach
  • Premium Milford Sound Cruise on a spacious modern vessel
  • Plenty of time for perfect photograph opportunities of this natural wonder
  • Buffet lunch included

Get ready for a breath-taking adventure as you discover some of New Zealand’s most stunning locations including Milford Sound, with a long-standing experienced team of local experts who deliver exceptional service and know the area like the back of their hand!

This epic journey begins in the heart of Queenstown. If this is your departure point you will be collected from one of our two central meeting points, either Queenstown i-Site or Frankton Bus Shelter to board our sleek and comfortable coach, specifically designed to capture the most of the surrounding views, and fitted with toilets for your convenience. Get your camera ready as we head south along Lake Wakatipu with the stunning Remarkables Range setting the backdrop for your journey.

The ever-changing scenery will have you in awe. Just beyond the beautiful rugged lake edge is New Zealand’s most scenic farmland. Its high country pastures are surrounded by looming mountains and dotted with clear rivers and streams, which are known for their trout fishing.

At Te Anau, we'll enjoy some delicious light refreshments before jumping back on board and getting ready to see some of the most spectacular and memorable scenery in the world. We will travel north alongside Lake Te Anau entering the bush-clad unspoiled Fiordland National Park. This is New Zealand as you imagined it!

As we continue driving, you will see it all - from golden tussock pastures and beech forests to the crystal clear reflective lakes. We'll steadily climb into the heart of the mountains past mist-covered valleys before reaching the gateway to Milford Sound - the Homer Tunnel.

Upon arriving at your cruise vessel, you will see why Milford has been regarded as the eighth wonder of the world. This is Mother Nature at her finest. Jump on board and choose either a comfortable window seat or stay close to nature by standing on the deck. Spectacular powerful waterfalls cascade off the walls of the fiord and your skipper will get you right up close. Make sure to look out for pods of dolphins too!

As we cruise, you'll have plenty of time to sit back and relax or get those perfect shots, with a delicious buffet lunch provided.

Once the cruise has come to an end, jump back on your comfortable coach for a relaxing journey back to Queenstown where you can reflect on your amazing day and the memories created that will last a lifetime.

Journee a milford sounds

Une grosse journee de 13h (5h de route aller et retour + 1h30 de bateau sur le fiord) vers milford sound avec de tres beaux paysages, arrets pour photos ou café/pipi. Chauffeur sympa, bus equipé de wc, bateau avec possibilité d’achat de repas du midi (non compris dans le prix du voyage...!), toit terrasse sur le bateau avec jolie vue. Les moins: aucune difference avec les tours organisés non « premium », meme parcours ou arret ou place sur le bateau que n’importe qui d’autre, commentaires en anglais uniquement probablement très instructifs...? Pas de traduction multilangue contrairement à l’annonce. Pourquoi payer plus cher donc?

Bien

J'avais choisi cette excursion car vendue comme étant en petit groupe.... Pas du tout. Le bus était grand et plein. Difficile de profiter de la quiétude du lieu quand on est sur un grand bateau entouré de groupes de touristes nombreux et bruyants. Le guide était en revanche très sympa et très drôle. Je ne recommande pas pour autant.

Une journée plaisante / A great day

J'ai vraiment apprécié la journée, le chauffeur était sympathique et nous avons eu l'occasion de nous arrêter sur le trajet pour admirer les paysages. La croisière étaient tout aussi merveilleuse ! Par ailleurs, très bon rapport qualité prix. A faire, sans hésiter ! / It was such a pleasure, the driver was nice and we've stopped a couple times to see some beautiful landscape. Then the cruise was also splendid! Overall, very good price-quality ratio. I would recommend it without any hesitation!
