Milford Sound - Coach and Flight Connections

:: Milford Sound

:: Daytime Cruises

:: Overnight Cruises

The journey to Milford from Te Anau and Queenstown is magnificent. The Milford Road (between Te Anau and Milford) is New Zealand's remotest highway providing access to spectacular mountain valleys. The alpine views are breathtaking and a highlight of any visit to Milford Sound.

Real Journeys provides luxury coach and flight connections to their Milford Sound Daytime and Overnight Cruises.

Coach & Daytime Cruises - Milford Sound

Combine a Scenic or Nature Daytime Cruise of Milford Sound with a drive over spectacular alpine roads in one of their glass roof coaches specially designed for your viewing comfort. Their drivers enjoy sharing their knowledge of the area and there is plenty of time for photo stops and short walks along the way. The road to Milford Sound, through Fiordland National Park, offers exceptional viewing opportunities with dense rainforest, towering mountains, glacial lakes and (near Homer Tunnel) avalanche debris and alpine herb fields.

• Foreign language commentaries are available on selected services
• Excursions leave from Real Journeys Visitor Centres and transfers available from most Queenstown and Te Anau accommodation
• Delicious lunch options available - buffet, picnic, obento and rock lobster lunches (Scenic Cruise) and picnic and obento (Nature Cruise), must be pre-ordered

You can fly both ways to join our Milford Sound Daytime Cruises or if you prefer, fly back to Queenstown after taking a luxury coach journey to Milford. Fly back options available with all daytime and overnight cruises (weather permitting).

Please Note: With the coach/cruise/fly back option if you are unable to fly due to weather conditions you will return to Queenstown by coach.
