    Full description

    Get away from the overcrowded buses, long lines, and obstructed views, and enjoy a small-group tour to discover New Zealand's renowned Milford Sound. 

    Combining premium travel in a Mercedes with a fantastic scenic nature cruise, a picnic lunch (optional), and loads of off-the-beaten-track visits to stunning locations is a great way to discover Milford Sound. 

    Travel to Milford in style in a luxury Mercedes van fully equipped with Wi-Fi, bottled water, and large viewing windows for taking in the amazing sights. Enjoy plenty of stops along the way.

     Upon arrival to Milford, take a scenic 2-hour nature cruise along the fjord, where you can lap up the spectacular sights and go under waterfalls. 

    Allow your local guide to provide informative commentary while you absorb the lush surrounding scenery and spectacular views. You'll see everything from cascading waterfalls, mirrored lakes, and awe-inspiring mountains to fascinating fur seals and dolphins. There is even a stop at a native beech forest where you can take a stroll. This experience is topped off with a delicious picnic lunch, which can be enjoyed on the cruise while soaking up the views before traveling back to Te Anau.

      We started the trip from Te Anau, our guide Rich was very informative and kept our family entertained for the 2hr journey from Te Anau to Milford Sound. We also had a couple of photo stops to take beautiful photos. Cruise was pleasant and Milford Sound is really awesome. Would definitely recommend it!

      This was well organised and the driver entertaining. There were plenty of stops on the way there. The lunch provided was very nice. The cruise is good with a good commentary. The views were spectacular as expected. We were only a smaller boat which was full but still had plenty of space to move around. The transport was good but a bit bouncy on that road but better then a large coach I think.

      We were picked up promptly by Tania, and had an enjoyable van ride to Milford. She made the trip memorable with lots of interesting facts and the photo breaks along the way made the trip go so much faster. The boat trip was great, and it was nice to be able to move freely around and still managing to keep a good distance from others. Ibiza trip I will definitely recommend to friends and family
