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.

Absolut empfehlenswert

Vorweg Super Tour trotz mäßigen Wetters. Busfahrer war absolut entspannt, zuvorkommen, freundlich, aufmerksam und super gelaunt! Sehr kontaktfreudig und hat wunderbare Informationen auf der Fahrt zum besten gegeben! Auf dem Weg gab es 2 Zwischenstopps um sich Erfrischungen zu holen oder die Toiletten aufzusuchen. Die Tour auf dem Boot im Fjord war super organisiert und unproblematisch. Wir haben leider nur ein Regentag erwischt was wiederum für uns kein Problem war. Haben das beste daraus gemacht. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Thank-you for your review and recommendation. We agree Milford is truly beautiful in the rain or shine. We are happy to hear you made the most of your time with us. Team Milford Sound Select.

Empfehlung

Der Tagestrip von Queenstown zum Milford Sound ist zu empfehlen. Grossartig: der Busfahrer "Cowboy" - typisch neuseeländisch mit viel Humor, Liebe zur Heimat und großem Öko-Engagement, hat die mehrstündige Busfahrt sehr angenehm gestaltet.

Fantastischer Ausflug

Toller Trip! Die Busfahrt von Queenstown nach Te Anau / Milford kommt einem auch überhaupt nicht lang vor weil es viele Informationen über Land und Kultur vom Busfahrer gibt. Es wurden zusätzlich regelmässige Toiletten Stopps gemacht. Die Bootsfahrt war auch spektakulär. Für den Preis bekommt man wirklich viel geboten. Außerdem gibt es die Möglichkeit spontan den Flug zurück zu buchen.

Thank-you so much. Great to see that you had a day of enjoyable day, of education about New Zealand, and it's nature, truly an amazing place. Team Milford Sound Select.

Sehr gut

Natürlich fehlt mir der Vergleich zu anderen Fahrten, da gehen sehr viele hin. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Genügend Pausen auf der Hinfahrt, guide Markus war super, Zeit angemessen. Da die Fahrt von queenstown sehr lange ist, ist man logischerweise lange unterwegs. Unser Bus hatte einen Teilbereich auf einem größeren Boot. Dieses war aber recht leer. Das heißt kein übermäßiges Gedränge. Mild Sound an sich: machen.

Toller Ausflug, sehr guter Fahrer und Reiseführer

Sehr gut organisiert. Unser Busfahrer Markus hatte alles im Griff und hat uns so ganz nebenbei während der Fahrt viele interessante Infos über Land, Leute,Fauna und Tierwelt gegeben. Auf der Heimfahrt hatten wir genügend Stops,um sich die Beine zu vertreten und Fotos von der grandiosen Landschaft zu schießen. Auch die Schiffsfahrt über den Milford Sound war erste Sahne. Sehr empfehlenswere Tagestour, war ihr Geld wert.
