Travel to Milford Sound on a premium coach for the only day trip from Te Anau 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 Te Anau.

Fantastic Day out
This is a jaw-droppingly beautiful trip. Taking the coach to Milford Sound was a fantastic decision not least because it gave me the chance to enjoy the view instead of being behind the wheel and having to concentrate on the road. Our driver Jamie recounted numerous snippets of information along the route with humour and clarity. He also knew where to capture the best shot from on our many stops en-route. Best of all he knew how long the journey would take, maximising our opportunities to stop along the way. The boat trip through the sound was amazing and the stop at the underwater observatory fascinating. Using bookme saved us money too, a win win situation. Just do it!

Milford sound tour
Firstly Milford sound was beautiful and it was a fantastic clear day. Picnic lunch was yummy and bigger then expected. However one of the most disappointing factor was I booked a coach, Milford sound cruise, under water obserbury, and picnic lunch tour. How ever no under water obserbury in the tour I was placed on. No idea what happened.. very disappointing considering I am assuming I have paid for this in the original fee. No mention on tour why not included and no email stating any of this not included or no.mention of refund. Please check you getting what is described.

Mr
Although the boat trip was cancelled due to high winds the coach trip was amazing, excellent driver with good knowledge and personality, booking staff super accommodating. Going again on Friday as fully transferred. Can't wait ๐๐๐๐
