Milford Sound Day Trip from Queenstown
Sit back, relax and let us host your full day Southland adventure from Queenstown to Milford Sound. Enjoy one of the world’s most spectacular drives in a modern glass‑roof coach, travelling along the shores of Lake Whakatipu through countryside to Te Anau. After a refreshing café stop, continue along the dramatic alpine Milford Road, with photo stops and short walks along the way. Step aboard our unique, character-rich vessels for a 1 hr 40 or 2‑hour Milford Sound cruise to the Tasman Sea and admire waterfalls, wildlife and towering mountains. Experienced skippers tailor each cruise to the day’s conditions and wildlife sightings, while specialist nature guides provide live commentary. Spacious vessels feature large windows and open viewing decks for uninterrupted views, and you feel the spray of waterfalls. Bring your own lunch or purchase locally curated food and drinks, including wine, craft beer and barista coffee, on board. After the cruise, return by coach to Queenstown
