Maximise your Fiordland and Milford Sound experience in an unhurried atmosphere in our comfortable small coaches
Explore the road to Milford Sound with up to 17 scenic stops along the way concluding with an amazing cruise with towering mountains and spectacular waterfalls.
Our "Extraordinaire" tour is the most comprehensive tour which includes magnificent views of the mountains beyond New Zealand's largest lake, three glacier carved valleys and photo stops in abundance.
Your day is highlighted with a cruise on Milford Sound on a cruise boat that limits numbers to less than 75 passengers. You will be up close to wildlife and have the chance to see dolphins, seals, albatrosses and the very rare Fiordland Crested Penguin (in season). Your cruise boat will actually carefully maneuver under at least two waterfalls enabling you to get wet with pure clean glacier water.
We as "Fiordland Tours" pride ourselves with providing an elite personal service during your day tour to Milford Sound. Our local guides will share their experiences and knowledge as we travel through awe inspiring scenery. Interaction with them is always invited, and question along the way
makes for an interesting and fun time.
Whilst we always plan our itinerary at the start of the day, we pride ourselves in the flexibility of changing the order of stops if inclement weather prevails.
Our guides are fully trained on all camera/phone devices, and will make sure to end up with a perfect album of memorable images of you day with us.

Fantastic trip!
Had a great day out in a beautiful part of our country. The only down side was that we were not given the lunch that was included with this tour.

What a fantastic day it was. We went with Jamie from Fiorldland Tours. We were on a smaller bus, which was the best thing. Guided walks and local knowledge in a small group. Stopped for yummy scones and coffee and tea. Great lunch, yummy huge sandwiches, drink, chocolate, fruit, slice of cake. This was all included in the price. Outstanding guide from Jamie. This is the company I would commend and ask for Jamie.

Not what we expected
While we really enjoyed our first time at Milford, we couldn't help but feel as though we didn't get the experience we had hoped for from this tour. It was lightly raining for our trip but we are told this happens more often than not so didn't expect it to impact our tour. A more appropriate name would've been the 'Bird Tour' as we started by going to a bird sanctuary in Te Anau. We stopped at least three times to look at ducks in paddocks however did not have one stop to look at the beautiful mountain landscapes or temporary waterfalls. Luckily after going through the tunnel there was a kea at a lookout so our driver stopped - however without the bird being there it was clear we would not be stopping. When we were trying to get photos of the beauty around us we were told to get in the van and close the door so the kea didn't go inside. Because of all the bird stops there were a number of beautiful places we drove by but didn't have time to stop. Noone on the trip was excited by the birds other than the driver and we were all a bit surprised that this tour was not what we had hoped. The boat was fantastic, not overcrowded and took us to all the great spots around the sounds, though this is one that wasn't exclusive to this tour. The food was nice (though we weren't able to warm up with a hot chocolate as not enough were stocked). Some feedback for the company would be to ask passengers what they are hoping to get out of the trip rather than following the drivers interests.

Thank you for your review of our small group tour to Milford sound. We are saddened that the tour did not deliver what you expected. Because we have five hours to show off the road to Milford Sound, there are times when small groups such as yours (7 in total) that we start the day with a quick visit to the bird park. However, because of your "bird tour" comment we are reviewing this. On fine weather days, we spend extended time in Milford Sound absorbing all the scenery. This was not an option on your day as low cloud and rain made enjoying scenic stops a challenge at times. The Kea that you are referring to. We have to let people out and shut the door as this particular one starts picking holes in the door rubber. Whilst this may look fun for people taking photos, it becomes very expensive as the door lining costs $600 to replace each time. To board again has to be done as quickly as possible to avoid further damage. The hot chocolate that you are mentioning, is put in when we have children, and not intended for adults anyway. We hoped that you would have understood that. The 14 stops that your guide made amongst mountains and waterfalls seems to have been over looked by yourself. I have asked the family that went with you on the 16th July about their experience and they told me that they really enjoyed the day. We ask readers of the 2/5 review as above, to look at all the 5/5 reviews preceding this one. Regards Ray Owner

Best Milford Sound Tour Ever!
I did this tour with my elderly Mum and we both had such a great time. Lots of photo stops along the way, yummy date scones for morning tea and very knowledgeable, entertaining guide. I felt like they really cared about giving their guests good memories. Highly recommend ?
