Leave the driving to someone else. From Queenstown or Te Anau, your coach winds through Fiordland National Park, with glacier-carved valleys and mirror lakes along the way.
Begin your journey with a comfortable coach transfer from Te Anau or Queenstown. After a scenic drive through Fiordland National Park, arrive at Milford Sound’s terminal where your ticket will be validated before boarding.
Milford Sound is often called the “eighth wonder of the world.” Sheer cliffs rise straight from the water, waterfalls plunge hundreds of meters, and wildlife thrives in the fjord’s sheltered environment. Your cruise brings you close to these natural wonders without the rush, made even smoother with transfers and lunch already arranged.
Picnic lunch upgrade: Add a freshly prepared lunchbox featuring local produce, perfect for enjoying mid-cruise as you sail between cliffs and waterfalls.
Indoor and outdoor viewing decks: Find your perfect vantage point, from the shelter of indoor lounges to open decks where the spray of the waterfalls is within reach.
Live commentary from your nature guide: Hear the stories of the fjord, its geological past, Māori legends, and the wildlife that still shapes daily life here.
Wildlife encounters: Keep watch for fur seals sunning on rocks, pods of dolphins playing in the wake, and penguins shuffling along hidden coves.
Complimentary tea & coffee: Warm your hands and your spirits with a hot drink as you take in the fjord’s raw beauty.
