Take a spectacular journey into Milford by luxury coach before exploring the stunning Milford Sound by cruise!
Prepare to soak up the beauty and grandeur of what has been called the "eighth wonder of the world" with Real Journeys.
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.

Enjoy the relaxing scenic journey back on the coach to your accommodation.
Snacks and drinks are available to purchase during your cruise (cash only) or you are welcome to bring a picnic along to enjoy.
Great trip from start to finish coach driver was excellent and couldn't fault the trip
A fabulous day out. I was lucky to get an amazing driver, Gill who was patient, highly knowledgeable and professional. Even though the weather had been poor a couple of days before I travelled, the sun came out, and it was truly a spectacular weather day. The scenery is breathtaking. The bus was modern, had air-conditioning and wall-to-ceiling windows. It's a long day, so be prepared to sit on a coach for a few hours; the seats recline too. A big shout out to Gill who elevated the tour to new heights.
Our trip was amazing! Enjoyed every part of it. Our bus driver was amazing, she was a great driver, funny and interesting to listen to, the views on the way were outstanding too! The boat ride was the most fun my Husband and i have had in a long time! Was breathing taking views, the crew were amazing especially the lovely brizalian bartender ❤️ We definetly want to come back and take our family here one day!
An amazing day from start to finish. We travelled with two children, aged 4 and 7, and I'll be honest, it was a very very long day for them. They were knackered from the early start and the cruise wasn't enough to capture their attention for long, plus sitting still for hours is always a struggle. From an adults point of view though, it was amazing! Brian our driver was so knowledgeable about literally everything in the area and is clearly very passionate about what he does. He told stories and retold Maori legends about the lakes etc, was great. We stopped in a lot of places for pictures and then the sound itself was incredible... Nothing compares! Recommend highly but maybe not with small kids.

Incredible!
What an incredible trip. Amazing scenery, wildlife and a great driver, Brian. Very easy to book through bookme and confirmation came from Real Journeys very quickly. From start to finish everything ran very smoothly. I understand it’s tough for operators at the moment, but what an incredible opportunity for New Zealanders to get out and see NZ without the hoards of tourists. We went pretty much the whole journey with very little traffic and had the Milford Sound cruise limited to a couple of boats. Us and one other. Saw Kea on the way in and on the Sound there were dolphins and seals. The weather was great - misty clouds adding to the atmosphere And the water calm. Lots of waterfalls after all the rain the previous week. Just breath taking. You must do this trip if you can.
