Description

Milford Sound is one of New Zealand's most amazing natural wonders, a pure sight to behold! The mountains of Milford are the tallest in all of Fiordland and rise the most imposingly. The cliff faces are covered in dense, lush rainforest and thunderous waterfalls hurtle hundreds of metres into the sea.

The Coach Trip
Your drive from Queenstown will take you down the spectacular Milford Road, located between Te Anau and Milford, it is one of the world’s most scenic alpine drives. The breathtaking scenery is unlike anywhere else in the world ranging from rich rainforest, sheer mountains and plains to icy smooth lakes and fields with alpine herbs.

The luxury coaches are specially designed and use cutting edge technology to provide the highest levels of safety and comfort. The seats are placed in tiers at an angle to give passengers the best views of the scenery outside. The wide glass roof gives easy access to views of snow-capped mountain peaks.

A leisurely day cruise is one of the most enjoyable ways to experience Milford Sound.

Do you pick up anywhere in Queenstown? I have not booked my accomodations yet but am curious where I would be picked up from? Do you pick up from AirBnBs?

Comments

Real NZ uses large 55-seater coaches for this tour. Given the narrow nature of many Queenstown streets- this is not something they are able to offer. They do however collect from the CBD and many bus stops along Frankton road
