Travel to Milford Sound on a premium coach for the only day trip from Queenstown that includes a visit to the amazing Milford Sound Underwater Observatory!

Journey through spectacular natural landscapes as your local coach driver provides engaging and informative commentary and shows you the best short walks and photo stops along the Milford Road.

Upon arrival at Milford Sound, jump on-board a smaller boat for a fascinating Nature Cruise with fewer people. Soak up breath-taking scenic views as we really explore the beauty of the Fiord, and get within touching distance of impressive rock walls and right up close to Stirling Falls. Our expert skippers will share their local knowledge with lively and informative commentary, plus you'll enjoy a freshly prepared picnic lunch.

Visit Milford Sound Underwater Observatory and descend 60 steps down a spiral staircase into a spacious viewing chamber to discover the unique and beautiful environment hidden under the surface of Milford Sound. Immerse yourself in a mysterious undersea world and encounter the extraordinary rare black coral and colourful sea creatures teeming just below the surface.

We'll then cruise back to the Milford Sound Visitor Centre to re-join the coach for the comfortable return journey back to Queenstown.

Fabulous day at Fiordland NP

Everything went well and had a great day. Only suggestion would be to keep the buffet lunch open for tge whole duration of the cruise so that folks can choose when they want to eat instead of rushing for it and miss out tge attractions.

AMAZING!

Wow, what an amazing activity! Unreal views and scenery, words can’t describe! And the coach ride was so comfy and we felt so safe - our driver Stan was the best!! So happy and cheery, lots of jokes and laughs aswell, made the long trek much more enjoyable! The cruise ride was so beautiful!! Make sure to dress warm as the boat can be chilly but wow - couldn’t recommend more! Definitely a must do when travelling to the South Island.
