Description
Ride in a luxury coach with a glass rooftop from Te Anau to Milford Sound. Then embark on an immersive Nature cruise with wildlife and waterfalls.
Immerse yourself in the natural landscapes on this tour of Milford Sound. Ride on a comfortable, heated luxury coach, walk through the rainforest, and cruise around Milford Sound with dolphins and waterfalls.
This coach trip includes a Milford Sound cruise aboard a comfortable, purpose-built cruise boat with optional lunch and refreshments. Enjoy multiple stops on your way to Milford Sound.
Board your luxury coach in Te Anau and then sit back and relax as you are driven into Milford Sound. Enjoy a stop at the mirror lakes, a beautiful 5-minute boardwalk through a rainforest, and other photo opportunities that make your journey to Milford Sound even more special.
On arrival at Milford Sound, you immediately proceed to the boat terminal, where your driver will give you your boat pass and direct you to your cruise boat. Upon boarding, make yourself comfortable in one of the saloons or catch the scenery from the decks.
Milford Sound is famous for its waterfalls, and if it's raining it's even more spectacular. The boats nudge right up to the base of the waterfalls, often challenging visitors to fill a glass of water from the cascading plumes.
This luxury tour already has reserved window seating for you, so no need to worry about getting a seat. On board feel free to buy yourself snacks and sandwiches from the café.
The boats are often escorted by pods of dolphins, while seals bask on the rocks. Take in the stunning scenery while your skipper gets you as close as possible to the wildlife for some fantastic photos.
The cruise will take you out to the point where the fiord meets the open sea. It is here at Anita Bay that the Maori collected their sacred Pounamu or Greenstone – prized for making tools, jewelry, and ornaments, and still a highly-valued stone today.
