What you can expect
Get ready for a full-day adventure from Queenstown to the world-famous Milford Sound. This all-inclusive coach, cruise and lunch tour is the ultimate way to experience one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Your day starts with a convenient pick-up from Queenstown, before hitting the road for a jaw-dropping journey through Fiordland National Park. Sit back and relax as your comfy coach winds past lakes, rainforest, and snow-capped mountains.
Once you arrive at Milford Sound, it’s time to jump aboard a spacious sightseeing vessel for a two-hour scenic cruise departing at 1.30pm. You’ll cruise past waterfalls, iconic Mitre Peak, and maybe even spot dolphins, seals, or other native wildlife. A tasty picnic lunch is included to keep you fuelled, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options available to suit everyone. After enjoying the views and fresh alpine air, you’ll hop back on the coach returning to Queenstown, with forever-lasting memories.
