Coach and Cruise to Milford Sound / Piopiotahi, Queenstown (NZ)

This all-day excursion begins with an early morning pick-up from your accommodations in Queenstown, when you'll board a comfortable bus to drive to Fiordland National Park. Your bus may have a glass roof, angled seats, and viewing decks to take in all the sights during the two-hour drive to your rest stop at Te Anau, the gateway to the park. Along the way, you'll learn about the area's history and discover details that make it particular, such as its flora, fauna, and geological formations.

You'll continue to Milford Sound / Piopiotahi to embark on the next part of your trip: a cruise down the fjord. Keep your camera close, as you may spot dolphins, penguins, or seals, and depending on the weather and time of year, your ship captain may tailor the cruise to ensure you see all the best this area has to offer. You'll get to take in the memorable landscape with features like waterfalls, sheer cliffs, and the towering Mitre Peak, and you may learn more about Milford Sound / Piopiotahi from your knowledgeable skipper. In the late evening, you'll return to Queenstown via coach or, if you'd like a different experience, you can upgrade to fly over Milford Sound / Piopiotahi in a small plane to see it from a bird's eye perspective.
