Day Trip Details

At the scheduled time, our journey to the Milford Sound Fjord will commence with a pickup from your hotel in Queenstown. Our minibus will take you towards the west coast of New Zealand.

As we depart from Queenstown, a captivating drive along the scenic Wakatipu Lake awaits, offering impressive views with the Remarkables mountain range as a backdrop.

Continuing our three-and-a-half-hour drive, you will witness breathtaking sights of forests, charming towns, rivers, and springs, including the magnificent Lake Te Anau, New Zealand's second largest lake. We will make several stops to relish the views at Mirror Lake, Eglinton Valley, Monkey Creek, and other picturesque locations, reminiscent of scenes from The Lord of the Rings.

As we approach Milford Sound, we will pass by Gunn Lake adjacent to Hollyford River and Falls Creek. Upon arriving at Milford Sound, you’ll board the boat for a cruise along the fjord, which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Before setting sail, we will provide a picnic lunch for you to enjoy at your convenience.

For two hours, you will be enchanted by cascading waterfalls, lush vegetation, and towering mountains. Be sure to keep an eye out for Mitre Peak, the iconic mountain of Milford Sound. Additionally, you may spot native birds, sea lions, and, with some luck, even dolphins.

After the cruise, we will head back to Queenstown, arriving approximately 13 hours after the initial pickup.
