Discover Milford Sound (Coach / Cruise / Coach) - Queenstown, New Zealand

Travel along the edge of Lake Wakatipu beneath the rugged Remarkables, to Te Anau for a morning tea break (own expense). Then enter the Fiordland National Park pausing at the Mirror Lakes before passing through the Hollyford Valley. The road climbs to enter the Homer Tunnel and emerge above the Cleddau Valley before descending down to Milford Sound.

Here you will take an unforgettable Red Boat cruise on the majestic Milford Sound. Milford Sound is a fiord carved by a massive glacier in the last ice age and, with its bishop's hat-shaped Mitre Peak, it is one of the most treasured regions of the World Heritage Fiordland National Park. The favored way of checking out the heart-stopping, pristine scenery, towering peaks, waterfalls and marine and bird life is aboard a Milford Sound Red Boat.

While on the cruise, enjoy a full commentary regarding the rich history of the Sound, as well as detailing the flora and fauna. The cruise highlights include three permanent waterfalls - the Stirling, Fairy and Lady Bowen Falls - plus a myriad of smaller ones that cascade down the steep rock faces following the heavy rains that keep the region lush and green.

After your awe-inspiring cruise, reboard the coach for your return journey to Queenstown.
