Luxury Milford Sound Coach and Scenic Cruise

1.Luxury Milford Sound Coach and Scenic Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 304 reviews · from $214Our pick

Leave Queenstown at 7:00 am for a full day through Fiordland National Park. A luxury coach carries you past Lake Wakatipu, Te Anau, Mirror Lakes, and Homer Tunnel, then a nature cruise takes you beneath Milford Sound waterfalls toward the Tasman Sea. Drivers such as Brad, Paul, and Sam Mulligan are praised for strong commentary and careful driving.

“First and foremost, the crew was AMAZING and courteous. Second, you can't do anything about the weather and safety hazards. Unfortunately, we hopped on the bus towards Milford Sound but previous weather made it impossible to cross the roads, and we had to turn back. Luckily we got our money back, but I'll send 5 stars for such courteous and knowledgable drivers who taught us so much and all the stops for photos and food along the way.”
