What a wonderful journey from Queenstown on the coach with great information passed on by the awesome driver Yoda. Milford sound was amazing and beautiful. Such an amazing day adventure

The trip is so great!
Pick up at very early morning but the coach as the driver was very professional! We’re so lucky to see the Keas, fur seal and dolphins, even the double rainbow from the waterfalls. The milford sound’s view is so incredible.

Worth the money !
Bought the tickets at almost half price off and saved the hassles to drive a long way to Milford sound. Bus captain offered multiple stops to take photos at scenic spots & also for toilet break. I recommend you to bring your cup noodles ( hot water provided on board) or own lunch to board the cruise, as the lunch options on the cruise were limited and expensive as well. Returned to Queestown at 7pm 👍🏻 If the weather is good and you plan to return to Queestown by airplane/ helicopter, bus captain also can offer the package, can talk to them for more info.

Peefect Milford adventure
Milford "Fiord" was a fantastic journey, we thoroughly enjoyed the entire day. The coach trip from Queenstown to milford sound was not long and tiresome, it was entertaining and informative thanks to our amazing driver, Vaughn! So much info and history about the area which makes this well worth it. The boat ride doesnt need my opinion to say it was one of the greatest experiences in the world! 10 out of 10 for this company

Keith is a legend!
Really great experience. The coach ride was very enjoyable, so many amazing sights. The cruise around Milford Sound was spectacular. It was a rainy day and in winter so very cold, but that meant that we saw heaps of waterfalls that otherwise wouldn’t have been there on a sunnier day. Keith was an excellent guide, so much knowledge and charisma. Would highly recommend!
