Overview

Join talented and knowledgeable guides on a journey along one of New Zealand's most scenic drives. All guides have unique and insightful stories to share, and spill the secrets of their beautiful backyard as you travel through lush rainforest, glacier carved valleys, alpine lookouts and much more. Enjoy spectacular short walks and incredible photo stops before arriving at the main event, magical Milford Sound.

On arrival at Milford Sound, board a spacious catamaran exploration of the region’s most famous fiord. As the boat travels the length of the fiord to the Tasman Sea, the welcoming crew will share what they know about their place, its wildlife, waterfalls, and fascinating history.

Enjoy complimentary lunch before joining the crew for a dance in the spray off pure glacial melt as the boat noses close to Stirling Falls for a refreshing finale!

    Q: Will I get seasick on Milford Sound Coach & Cruise Tour from Te Anau?
