Scenic drive to Milford Sound

Embark on a 4-hour drive from Queenstown to Milford Sound. Witness the transformation of landscapes as you travel through Southland's farmlands and into the heart of Fiordland National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the drive continues, lush rainforests and glacier-carved valleys unfold, offering photo-worthy moments at iconic spots like the Eglinton Valley – a testament to nature's artistry – and Mirror Lakes, which mirrors the majestic Earl Mountains.

Milford Sound cruise

The highlight of the trip is a 1-hour 45-minute cruise on the Milford Sound. As the vessel nears the Stirling Falls waterfall, brace yourself for a refreshing spray when the bow ventures beneath! The vessel's spacious decks, large windows, and HD camera footage ensure you don't miss a moment of this surreal view.

Return drive to Queenstown

After the cruise, relax on a return drive to Queenstown, reflecting on the day's magnificent sights and experiences.
