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!
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.

Highly recommended. Everything was really organized. It was nice to let someone else do the driving and show you the stops along the way. The weather wasn't the greatest but the scenery was lovely none the less.
We loved our coach tour and cruise. We really enjoyed our drive to the Milford Sound as much as the Cruise of the Milford Sound itself. Our driver Greg was 1 in a million. He was such a joy, with his sense of humour and expert knowledge of the tour. It wouldn't have been the same if we went without him as our tour guide and coach driver. The Coach was really comfortable and he stopped at some awesome locations along the way. We will definitely be coming back with our kids and will be booking this tour again, with the hope that we get Greg as our driver. Thanks so much Southern Discoveries for a memorable experience.
Amazing coach journey wow the knowledge of our driver Junior was incredible and stopped at some amazing sites. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable you need a pay rise 😃
Thanks to Stane, our friendly Southern Discoveries bus driver; and Pilot Joseph, who flew us over the breathtaking MilfordSound. These are awesome people who light up the whole trip. Milford Sound is stunning. Awesome experience.

很棒的體驗!
導遊會在好幾個點放大家下車拍照大概通常一個點都是10分鐘,會在車上介紹各個景點的資訊但是同時也會保留可以讓我們休息的時間這點很讚,船上的自助餐只有航行的前45分鐘開放,建議大家一上船就先吃再去拍照,船上也有提供免費熱咖啡熱水跟冰牛奶 。另外,如果有遇到企鵝海豚或是海豹船上也會廣播跟大家講解,可以抓緊時間去看! 本來就知道峽灣長年下雨但這次在船上的時候雨下特別大,所以會推薦大家還是穿防水機能好的衣服前往比較保險,但這次也因為下雨更感受到峽灣的壯闊跟神秘,是一次非常好的體驗
