Choose this relaxed and unhurried coach and catamaran combo and experience the best that Fiordland has to offer.

Enjoy a later departure time after the crowds have rushed ahead, allowing for a leisurely tour and uncrowded cruise. 

Begin your journey in Queenstown, settle into a comfortable seat, and prepared to be wowed by the mesmerising scenery of this World Heritage Site.

As the coach travels deep into the heart of the rugged National Park, listen to experienced driver guides as they share their wealth of knowledge and the secrets of their backyard through informative commentary and anecdotal storytelling. Plenty of stops are made for photos and short nature walks as you pass through the 45th parallel, ancient rainforest, and glacier carved valleys in this wild landscape.  

On arrival at the main event, Milford Sound, you are dropped right at the door before boarding a comfortable and modern catamaran for the scenic cruise of a lifetime.

Sail the full length of the fiord to the Tasman sea and back past hanging rainforest, towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls and an assortment of Fiordland's unique and wonderful wildlife. View fur seals lounging on rocks, spot dolphins surfing the wake of the boat, and if you're truly lucky, you may catch a glimpse of Fiordland's elusive and diminutive crested penguin.

The famously friendly skipper and crew are what sets this cruise above the rest, ensuring the best atmosphere in the fiord. You'll find them taking those all important photos, spotting wildlife with the skipper in the open wheelhouse, sharing their endless local insight, and most importantly, dancing in the spray if Stirling Falls as the boat noses close to Milford's tallest waterfall for a refreshing finale. 

Lunch is included and served on board the cruise, as well as complimentary tea and coffee throughout. There is a licenced Cafe Bar serving an assortment of hot and cold refreshments should a snack top up be required. 

Once the cruise returns to the wharf, you'll be whisked back to the coach for the trip back to base. There are no scenic stops on the return journey, but a stop will be made in Te Anau, before completing the final leg to Queenstown.

The full day trip is 12 hours from Queenstown.
