From Te Anau: Milford Sound Premium Bus Tour and Cruise

The drive from Te Anau to Milford Sound is an adventure in itself. Take in everything the world-famous Milford Sound road has to offer with expert commentary as well as the coach’s glass roof, premium seating, and USB charging ports. Download the free Southern Discoveries app to hear your tour commentary in a range of languages. Stop at stunning locations along the Milford Sound road, including Eglinton Valley, Mirror Lakes, Knobs Flat, and Monkey Creek before the glacier-carved majesty of Milford Sound appears as you approach the cruise terminal. Arrive refreshed at Milford Sound as your guide takes you to your Milford Sound Nature Cruise. Step aboard the purpose-built catamaran designed to get you close to the fiord's waterfalls and sheer cliff faces. Find your perfect viewing spot - either from the spacious top deck or through large windows in the comfortable cabins. Your cruise takes you past the towering Mitre Peak and Bowen Falls. Feel the spray of the 15,000-year-old Stirling Falls cascading from the ancient rainforest high above. The cruise continues to Copper Point, where New Zealand fur seals often bask on rocky outcrops, and bottlenose dolphins are known to swim in the vessel's wake. Sail the length of Milford Sound to the Tasman Sea. Keep watch for the rare Fiordland crested penguin nesting in the rocky shoreline (seasonal). Learn about the landscape's formation and wildlife from the onboard commentary, available in multiple languages on our free app. Add a freshly prepared picnic lunch to complete your experience (available to pre-order) or the To Kai buffet on selected departures. Milford Sound is approximately a 5-hour drive from Queenstown or a 2-hour drive from Te Anau (including stops). Trips depart daily.
