Travel from Queenstown to Milford Sound by coach, cruise the fiord for two hours, then return by fixed-wing plane via Fiordland National Park.

Tour Overview

Travel from Queenstown to Milford Sound by scenic coach, with a short mid morning break in Te Anau for coffee or a snack before continuing along the Milford Road. This first part of the journey lets you settle in and watch the landscape change as you head deeper into Fiordland.

At Milford Sound, board a two hour cruise on the fiord and take in the scale of this well known natural setting from the water. The cruise is the centrepiece of the day, giving you time on the fiord before the return journey takes a very different route.

After the cruise, return to Queenstown by fixed wing plane, weather permitting. The flight back offers an aerial view of Milford Sound and Fiordland National Park, followed by a pass over New Zealand's 3rd largest lake before Queenstown comes back into view. Landing at Queenstown Airport rounds off a day that combines road, water, and air travel in one itinerary.

This tour suits travellers who want to experience Milford Sound in more than one way, with a coach trip out, a cruise on the fiord, and a scenic flight home.
