Prepare to soak up the beauty and grandeur of what has been called the "eighth wonder of the world" with RealNZ.
Departing from either Queenstown on-board a luxury coach, sit back, relax and take in the stunning location on one of the most scenic drives in New Zealand along Milford Road, while enjoying on-board commentary and various photo stops along the way.
Upon reaching Milford, you'll take a relaxing cruise on board the spacious vessel which boasts fantastic outdoor decks and indoor lounges specifically designed to optimise your viewing experience.
To ensure you experience the very best of Milford Sound on the day, your knowledgeable skipper has planned each trip based on the weather and recent wildlife sightings. As we cruise the full length of the Fiord you'll witness the majestic beauty of Milford first hand while we cruise right up close to grand waterfalls and sheer rock faces, and discover local wildlife such as dolphins, seals and, in season, the rare Fiordland crested penguins.
Enjoy the relaxing scenic journey back on the coach to your accommodation.
Snacks and drinks are available to purchase during your cruise or you are welcome to bring a picnic along to enjoy.

The Great FERG Coach Driver
Amazing experience with RealNZ ALL THE TIME! It is not my first time with them and all my experiences were excellent! Our driver/commentator/entertainer has been very great from start to finish. His voice is calm and doesn’t disrupt our sleep while on the road. His voice is a perfect example of a bedtime story teller. His dry jokes are funny too! Thanks for the wonderful time. OF COURSE MILFORD SOUND CRUISE WAS EXCEPTIONAL!!

A compact journey cover various kind of nature
Our coach very nice, very knowledgeable, and his passion about the work is the thing I can never achieve. The journey very compact, 10 hours in bus, 1:45 for cruise.few mins for the toilet break, one stop of the engliton valley. There are many beautiful view along the road which we have no time to stop. I saw may kea stand on the cars, and try passing around the road. And there a large area of the flower bloom around the Engliton river.
