Begin your journey in Queenstown and travel through some of New Zealand’s most spectacular scenery on the way to Milford Sound. Sit back and enjoy a comfortable drive along the famous Milford Road, with opportunities to admire the changing landscapes of Fiordland National Park.
Your first major stop is Lake Te Anau, the largest lake in the South Island, where you can take in stunning views of crystal-clear waters surrounded by mountains. Continue through the beautiful Eglinton Valley, a vast glacial valley known for its dramatic alpine scenery and native beech forests. Stop at the famous Mirror Lakes, where calm waters reflect the surrounding mountains, creating one of the region’s most photographed landscapes.
Upon arrival at Milford Sound, board a scenic cruise and explore what is often described as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Cruise past towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and lush rainforest while learning about the area's unique natural history. Keep an eye out for native wildlife, including fur seals, dolphins, and occasionally penguins.
After experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Milford Sound, relax on the return journey to Queenstown, taking with you unforgettable memories of one of New Zealand’s most iconic destinations.
