Experience the best of Milford Sound ex Queenstown including Coach, Cruise and a delicious Kiwi BBQ Lunch!

Milford Sound is undoubtedly one of the most scenic destinations in New Zealand. Set among 3 million pristine acres of the Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound is a 'must-see', with magnificent untouched native forest and bush, pristine waterways and lakes, glaciers and high peaks.

Experience a fun, interactive full day tour with the BBQ Bus - a small group and family run company! Journey deep into the lush New Zealand native landscape of the Fiordland National Park. Enjoy lots of sightseeing stops and short walks, before setting off on our purpose-built cruise boat with spacious large decks and observation lounges so you can get the best views of magnificent Milford Sound.

Be sure to look out for wildlife such as seals basking on the rocks, Fiordland Crested penguins and playful dolphins!

To top everything off, you'll enjoy a delicious kiwi BBQ lunch. Between May - October, the lunch is served on the boat where it's warm and dry under a glass covered viewing deck. The perfect way to top off your experience with BBQ Bus!

Best day of our trip

So glad we booked this tour. Great smaller size bus with awesome driver Rob very informative comments but also gave us some quiet to just take in the beautiful scenery. Loved all the stops along the way to get some amazing photos. The bbq was just what we needed to fuel us on the boat for the most majestic scenery we have ever seen. I like how stainless steel cups and plates were used and not one use plastics. The kids loved the movie on the way back which ended a great day! Thank you

Great Way To Experience Milford Sound

Had a terrific experience from start to finish, journeying with Chris and the Milford Sound BBQ Bus. Commentary was lively, and I appreciated the small, intimate group. Food was absolutely delicious and had me going for seconds. The cruise portion was contracted out to another company, so you share it with another group of people (who probably wished they could have a taste of our BBQ, but hands off!). Still, the size of the boat and its passengers was relatively small compared to other cruises, and yet it never felt cramped or overcrowded. It was a lovely and majestic time on the water. The ride back in the afternoon had far less stops than the ride in the morning, but it passed quickly with some videos shown in the bus. We were even treated to a gem of a Kiwi movie called Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and it was so great that I bought when I got back in the US. I highly recommend them to other people visiting Milford Sound from either Queenstown or Te Anau.
