The road trip to Milford Sound is one of the world’s finest alpine drives. Sit back and relax as your coach driver takes you on a journey through the ancient beech forests of the Fiordland National Park. Your coach stops often for photo opportunities at some iconic viewpoints, before descending the Homer Tunnel into valleys dwarfed by towering mountain peaks. As you arrive in Milford Sound, you are welcomed to a superb view of Mitre Peak standing tall at the forefront of the fiord.
Surrounded by some of the most magnificent scenery in the world, you’ll board your Mitre Peak Cruises vessel and begin your voyage cruising the length of the 16km fiord out to the Tasman Sea. Listen to the informative commentary, and interact with our hosts while enjoying the complimentary tea, coffee and water on-board. Picnic lunches are available for purchase online for an additional $27 per person.
Complete your journey by flying over some of the most dramatic scenery in the world on your way back to Queenstown. Get a whole new perspective of the region you spent the morning exploring from ground level, as you soar over tumbling waterfalls and beside the snow-capped peaks of Fiordland and the Southern Alps. After witnessing the landscapes from three unique angles, you will leave feeling truly awe-inspired of this majestic region.
