Amazing tour got to see 2 lakes at once and the 1 hour ride is so worth it. Our driver Brett was fantastic love the 360 adrenaline spins. Would do it again, thank you gor the experiences.?????

Great experience and fantastic jet boat drivers. The scenery is amazing!

Was so awesome to have an e bike so I could get the most out of my day. Queenstown and area has lots of great bike trails, but the hills would really get me, so having the extra kick of the E bike helped me get up them.

Get the premium e bike if you hire. Makes the ride so much more enjoyable. Smooth gear changes, good power assist. The ride around Queenstown area is fantastic. Guys at the shop very helpful. Thoroughly recommend hiring from Bike and Beyond.

We hired bikes, and had them delivered to our Hotel in Queenstown. They arrived on time, with Water bottle, maps, and a Lock. Great instruction was given on the easy operation of the bikes. We had a magic day exploring Queenstown and beyond the Shotover River bridge. This was a great way to see the parks & gardens with the magnificent Autumn colours.

Landing on top of a snow capped mountain was amazing

We had a fantastic day as a family of four on these e-bikes. Such a beautiful route. Started in Frankton, off to Arrowtown via Lake Hayes & came back over the 5-bridges. Bikes were great, route was fantastic and good service at the bike hire.

Thanks Andrew for your piloting us. It was my husbands 60th Birthday and a surprise. The views are amazing and stunning. Never leave home before coming to The Queenstown area. A big plus for any trip here. Pick up and drop off for accommodation with no extra charge is a bonus. Highly recommend

We had Pete as our pilot in queenstown and and it was such an amazing experience! we felt safe through out the whole experience and it made our honeymoon unforgettable. it's definitely worth the price and a once in a life time experience with beautiful views and sob much fun. we did the 50 minute scenic flight with alpine snow landing and its something we'll remember forever. thanks Pete!

It is amazing! The scenery is stunning and Greg was an amazing bus driver/tour guide. If you are getting picked up from Queenstown, you hop on from the city at Southern Discoveries (hard to miss as it is central and near the lake/river from CBD). It takes 12 hours in total for return, including the Milford Sound cruise. There's some stops along the way where they allow you to take photos and take it all in. So keep that in mind. Honestly though, probably the best scenic drive I had taken in the world. Just bring a plastic bag or panadol cause I can see how people can get dizzy in the drive there.

Gabe, our coach driver, was very professional and made the trip truly enjoyable, entertaining and Informative. Coach was comfortable and so was the catamaran. Highly recommended company to use!

There were only 3 passengers on my tour, but thanks to Cowboy we had a fun filled, adventurous and awesome day. We were able to enjoy a few extra stops, and still stay ahead of the "opposition", lol. He is simply superb at his job, yes, even with the terrible puns, haha. Very informative in every aspect, and a great storyteller. The boat cruise wasn't quite as exciting as I'd hoped, but it was still beautiful, and the bus ride more than made up for it! Would definitely recommend this tour to friends, so much breathtaking scenery in one day, and too many photo opportunities.

The wet weather did not put a “dampener” on this experience only made it more mysterious and exciting. What a wonderful place Fiordland and Milford Sounds are when shrouded in mist and rain. A great journey made more pleasing by the excellent and knowledgeable driver Pradeep, my apologies if I get this wrong. Thank you Southern Discoveries and team. ???

our bus driver was entertaining from th set off point, good banter, good history telling, then th cruise was th icing on th cake, wow

We were blessed with the highly coveted 'blue day' which was just very good luck. The tour and our driver were not just luck though. Everything was perfect, from communication pre tour, to the carefully selected photo opportunities and scenic stops en route. Our driver, Cowboy, aka Jason was brilliant, with extensive knowledge, warm and generous commentary and superb driving skills, making this day magical & unforgettable.

Don't miss it!!!

The coach could have been a bit better considering the transfer to the Ultimate?, very luxurious. Apart from that Our coach/driver is an awesome guy. Thanks for the experience

My mum and l had a great time on the Milford sound and Coach. We had excellent views of hundreds of waterfalls on our way to Milford as it was a rainy day it was still worth it. Our driver was excellent and had a lot of knowledge about places and names through out the journey. We had an amazing time on the cruise it was just a majestic place. The cruise staff were great and lunch being provided on the cruise was also a treat. I would highly recommend the coach and cruise you also get to to stop at key places along the journey to take in the scenery and take lots of pictures. It was a great experience.

An incredible journey to Milford Sound! The driver Pradeep was sensational, charming and delivered an amazing experience to our group, it was a long day, but so much to see and experience. A comfortable bus, plenty of stops and chances to capture this amazing part of New Zealand ?? 5 stars!

Perfect!!! Lucky us, sunny weather. Must do more than once:-)

Super friendly driver with good commentary along the trip. Have a chance to ge a good weather on the road from Queenstown to Milford Sound with little bit of rain when starting the cruise. However Milford Sound is still majestic and mysterious when combine with light rain and mist. Super on time and the driver helps me to take some pictures of me, thank you for the great experience!!

It was just great. Marcus was our coach guide and he was very informative. I often get motion sickness but his driving was pretty good. Milford Sound is indeed a magical place and when you get comfortable journey, you can enjoy it more. If you are planning to use coach, go with them without a doubt. Marcus has a good knowledge of the surrounding and he says in a very interesting manner. He gives enough comfort stops as well. Highly recommended

Greg was our super star host/bus driver for the day. Kept us informed and entertained all day long. A total asset to this tour company. The stops along the way were just breathtaking as was the actual boat tour of Milford Sound. Such an amazing place that it seems surreal. Beauty beyond words. 100% recommended. We were a little unsure of doing tour from Queenstown but we are so glad we did. Best memorable trip ever. Words cant describe it. Just do it!!

What a magical day spent among NZ nature. We were lucky enough to see Kea and even fur seals. The driver was so friendly and informative however was a little heavy on the brakes. The cruise was spectacular and the waterfalls magnificent....thank you for a wonderful experience

Our driver calls himself the Cowboy and the bus, his steel horse. He entertained us through much of our long bus ride to and fro with interesting facts, and also jokes, puns and quizzes that really kept the atmosphere lighthearted (he gave us good time to rest as well). With only 15 people on the tour and every one keeping to the time schedule as well as really good weather, Cowboy was able to stop a couple of times at several scenic places for us to take excellent photos! The premium bus offers good space, wifi on the bus (while there's still reception of course) and I was able to charge my phone till 99% by the end of the trip - so bring your wire and sit near the charging ports!). For best views, sit on the right. Oh and And Milford Sound is just so stunning! My friend and I spent almost the whole 1.5hrs out on the various decks to try and capture the best views. The toilet on the cruise was also clean. We didn't take the lunch (don't think it's halal), but sure looks and smells good! There's complimentary tea and coffee on board the cruise and also hot water available to cook cup instant noodles if you're slightly on a budget like me.

We had a great experience, hope to do it again soon

The whole experience was amazing Gab the driver and the crew on the cruise were great. We felt very lucky. We went under the waterfalls. We loved it.

The highlight for me is the driver (Brad) of the southern discoveries bus. He knows everything and time just flew while listening to his stories about Queenstown and South Island. The bus was amazing with the roof made out of glass for the amazing view. The cruise was also great. Highly recommend taking the bus instead of driving a private vehicle if you don't plan to take hikes on the way. Coz the bus is mostly windows so you can enjoy the extremely beautiful nature throughout the journey rather than focusing on driving. You will get to know the history of everything you meet on the way by listening to the driver.

My friends and I enjoyed our Milford Sound trip. No words can explain how glad we are.

Outstanding trip.Stopped at points of interest and everything was run efficiently but didn't feel too rushed considering how much is fitted in. Be prepared for several tour groups if you go in summer though. Drive into Fiordland is stunning and Milford sound is breathtaking. We were treated to a beautiful non rain day ( rains for around 250 days a year!) and saw a pod of dolphins as well in the boat trip. Definitely a must do trip!

Due to Covid, we were moved to the parent company Southern Discoveries but the offer and experience was much the same! This is great value for money! Includes Coach from Queenstown, with lots of pre-recorded commentaries and information from the great driver! Then a bfast stop at Te Anau, and with plenty of stop and photo op along the way to Milford! The skipper and crew were also great and picnic lunch included which is more than enough for the 2hr sailing! All staff were very informative and in high spirit despite of the impact of Covid to their business. Hopefully those in NZ will try this adventure, it’s our time to explore this beautiful country! Thank you Book me and Southern Discoveries! Truly an amazing experience!!!

Cruising Milford Sound is a must. We had a lovely boat, We got to see amazing waterfalls, Fur Seals and other locations. It was Beautiful We loved the boat experience, not too many passengers on the boat so not overcrowded. Everyone got a good view of the beauty of Milford Sound. Milford Sound was beautiful just as described on the website. The Coach driver was awesome, knowledgeable and friendly, he made the bus trip enjoyable. Glass top bus provided amazing views from all angles.

We went to Milford Sound 1st week of March 2020, and eventhough there was a flood last February it was still beautiful and aptly named the 8th wonder of tht world, we had a great time, Brad our driver is very informative and entertaining, highly recommended to go to this tour when in Queenstown.

We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day and the whole trip was fantastic. The driver was very nice and knowledgeable. A little wifi problem but rest of the trip is worth it. The stops at scenic places are very thoughtful.

We were lucky and had an amazing sunny day. The driver was very explicative and gave perfect information while travelling. Scenary while travelling from Te Anau onwards was outstanding!! Made a couple of stops on the way. Would really recommend this experience to anyone, really worth it. Bookme discount makes it even better
