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 trip, bus was a little hot
Milford Sound was amazing! The bus was quite hot as the aircon wasn’t working properly, especially with the glass roof, which put a bit of a damper on the trip.

Amazing Milford Sound
Totally worth doing this, one of the thing you won’t want to miss.

Trip
I have been on a trip to Milford sound 4 times and in all season. So far this is the best season to go. One thing though is because of the weather we haven't stopped at the national park and the mirror lake which I have done in the past. For a bus of 40ish people I would say that 223NZD is a good deal. Though in the past it was 160-190NZD for other companies with 11-13 people in a coach. I can say that this trip was the most expensive I have ever done. Also inside the bus, i understand it is first come first serve but for a group of people getting onboard it's a pain for not be able to seat together just because others already got into your previous seat.

Miford Sound Tour from Queenstown
Did our first Milford Sound tour with Real NZ on 24.12.2025. From coordination to pick up, the transfer coach, breaks, ferry ride and return trip were perfect. A big shout out to our driver cum tour guide cum naturalist cum entertainer, LEVI. He is such a good bloke. His driving is so safe, you’d feel like you are driving on a 6 lane motorway. Hats off to him for taking us there and bringing us back to the city safe and sound.

Good bus, bad bus
The pick up was delayed. The bus driver cum guide, Angela was great both with her driving and knowledge. It hadn't rained in the area for a week I think, so not many waterfalls to see in the fjord. But the uncomfortable part was when the blazing sun and all-glass bus turned it into a green-house in the afternoon. The AC on full blast couldn't bring it below 30 deg. I suggest inclusion of drawable curtains in the bus.
