Location

Cruise around the stunning Milford Sound in Fiordland with this 1-hour 40-minute cruise with transfers from Queenstown. The journey begins by boarding the comfortable coach in Queenstown and winding through the region en route to Milford. The bus has giant windows and a glass roof, so you'll be treated to incredible views of the region as you're driven around.

Once arriving in Milford, you'll board the purpose-built sightseeing vessel to embark on your scenic cruise. You'll venture out of the dock and up close to cascading waterfalls to explore all the Sound has to offer. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife such as seals and dolphins as they frequent the area and are often popping their heads out to say hello or lounging on the rocks.

While on board you'll be treated to informative commentary teaching you all about the region's history and the animals that live here as well as pointing out any wildlife sightings along the journey. If you're looking to enjoy lunch on board as you cruise around, you can choose from a a picnic lunch or an obento lunch.

The entire experience from start to finish with the transfers from Queenstown and back again lasts for almost 13-hours. Throughout the day you'll enjoy some incredible sightseeing and wildlife spotting opportunities that will help make some amazing memories.

“ The coach is clean and well on time, value for money, and a well-managed company. I recommend opting for this company, the driver guide is well explained each and everything via travelling, and pick on time and drop exactly on time, we really appreciated that.

Lovely drive and friendly tour guide. Shame they changed our boat last minute.

The tour guide was very informative and the drive was great. Unfortunately our boat was changed last minute to a larger boat that was packed like sardines. It made it feel like they were cramming as many people on as they could. The food on the boat was ok but better to pack your own food if you can.

It was a good day even if the weather wasn't great.

The view on the way in is great, even better with the glass roof on the bus. Good toilet stops and the coffee at Te Anau was amazing. The driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. You can buy food and drinks on the cruise but they accept cash only.

It was beautiful however the bus timing was a little confusing as we were collected and taken to the bus collection point but almost missed the bus then the bus left without us from Milford Sound so we had to catch another bus

Luckily others grabbed our bags and brought them to the hotel where we were staying!
