You will cruise the full length of the fiord to the Tasman Sea and enjoy the informative commentary on the abundant wildlife and natural history, stopping at waterfalls and points of interest on the way.
Awesome day spent with Southern Discoveries, very knowledgeable & experienced coach driver provided fun history throughout our journey. Although not the best weather while doing the Cruise, the waterfalls were spectacular, we even encountered some dolphins and seals!! Even the picnic lunch was much better then our expectations. Thanks for the experience, Southern Discoveries.
It is just a typical day trip but that doesn’t mean that the tour is bad as you visit one of the most beautiful places in the world. The guide gives you a bunch of info about Queenstown so as Milford Sound while you’re on the way. He drops you off several times at scenic spots and gives enough time to enjoy the view. Once you get to the sound, you get 2 hours to cruise on the water and the view is simply unbelievable. You can enjoy the view on the deck of the ferry while having your picnic lunch. The guide also organizes the flight tour that goes back to Queenstown from the sound. Overall it was a great journey even though you have long hours on a bus. Must do if you’re in Queenstown.
was great fun, amazing stops. Only issue was the amount of people cramped in the boat. Felt like I was a sardine
We all had a great time. The driver was exceptional both his driving, the commentary with his wealth of knowledge and humour. Enjoyed the picnic lunch and the crew on the cruise. All made this trip an experience of a life time to a most beautiful place one will ever see. Thankyou Southern Discoveries
