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.

Great!
Bus tour was well organised, driver was very skilled at driving through the windy roads to Milford and also provided useful and interesting commentary. Schedule is a little tight but understandable as there are several pit stops and the journey to the Milford sound port is very far. We didn't get any calls or emails about the bus pick up schedule so was a little stressful in the morningn trying to figure out what time was the pickup outside our accommodation, but having the freephone number was useful as we were calling using an overseas number, the customer service agent was also very friendly and helpful. Would be good if the tour operator could provide pickup time information at each pick up stop that is offered, through email. Otherwise, great deal for an amazing drive and cruise in Milford!

Decent experience
Very very mass market and packed. For the price, it was good value. If you prefer a quieter experience you might want to book small group tours instead
