Enjoy a spectacular scenic journey aboard our luxury coach, then board our premium "Gem of the Sound" catamaran for a Milford Sound cruise of a lifetime!
Enjoy a sleep in and leisurely breakfast at your accommodation, before climbing aboard our fabulous glass roof coach for a breathtaking journey on one of the worlds' most spectacular drives.
Departing Queenstown and hugging the shores of Lake Wakatipu, the highway brings you through stunning mountain ranges to southern rural heartland. After passing through deer, cattle and sheep farming landscape, you come to the beautiful town of Te Anau for a refreshment break.
Once back on board, we link up with the Milford Highway for a truly magnificent journey through the stunning National Park. The views are ever changing from valley forests, rivers and lakes to a high alpine environment of sheer granite walls and glaciers. Our friendly coach drivers provide wonderful commentary along the way, as well as plenty of scenic photo stops and opportunities for short walks.
On arrival at Milford Sound, you board our premium new catamaran, the Gem of the Sound, for the scenic cruise of a lifetime. New Zealand fur seals can be viewed from just metres away or step out onto the bow and feel the spray from waterfalls that drop from hanging valleys directly into the fiord.
With large viewing decks, glass roofs, and HD cameras projecting live outdoor footage onto TV screens throughout the vessel, you can rest assured you won’t miss a moment of the breath-taking scenery.
Departures & season: Queenstown daily at 9:45am in summer (Oct-April) with pickups prior.

Share LinkI would give 10 stars if I could.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Firstly, our driver George was just lovely. He was knowledgable and made multiple stops for us to take photos and share interesting facts about places we went and passed. The glassroof was more than I expected. It is fantastic and provides extra enjoyments to the ride. I highly recommend getting on one if you can. Milford Sound was AWESOME! It's beautiful and the crew on the cruise was fun and did their best to make sure we all had a great time. We had chance to see and get soaked by the waterfall(s) and it was so much fun! Jucy staffs are very professional and attentive and I highly recommend them to anyone who is considering to visit Milford Sound.
