Enjoy a taste of luxury with a premium locally run Milford Sound expedition, designed to maximize your experience as you embark on a breath-taking scenic adventure to discover New Zealand’s own, Milford Sound!
Get ready for a breath-taking adventure as you discover some of New Zealand’s most stunning locations including Milford Sound, with a long-standing experienced team of local experts who deliver exceptional service and know the area like the back of their hand!
This epic journey begins in the heart of Queenstown. If this is your departure point you will be collected from one of our two central meeting points, either Queenstown i-Site or Frankton Bus Shelter to board our sleek and comfortable coach, specifically designed to capture the most of the surrounding views, and fitted with toilets for your convenience. Get your camera ready as we head south along Lake Wakatipu with the stunning Remarkables Range setting the backdrop for your journey.
The ever-changing scenery will have you in awe. Just beyond the beautiful rugged lake edge is New Zealand’s most scenic farmland. Its high country pastures are surrounded by looming mountains and dotted with clear rivers and streams, which are known for their trout fishing.
At Te Anau, we'll enjoy some delicious light refreshments before jumping back on board and getting ready to see some of the most spectacular and memorable scenery in the world. We will travel north alongside Lake Te Anau entering the bush-clad unspoiled Fiordland National Park. This is New Zealand as you imagined it!
As we continue driving, you will see it all - from golden tussock pastures and beech forests to the crystal clear reflective lakes. We'll steadily climb into the heart of the mountains past mist-covered valleys before reaching the gateway to Milford Sound - the Homer Tunnel.
Upon arriving at your cruise vessel, you will see why Milford has been regarded as the eighth wonder of the world. This is Mother Nature at her finest. Jump on board and choose either a comfortable window seat or stay close to nature by standing on the deck. Spectacular powerful waterfalls cascade off the walls of the fiord and your skipper will get you right up close. Make sure to look out for pods of dolphins too!
As we cruise, you'll have plenty of time to sit back and relax or get those perfect shots, with a delicious buffet lunch provided.
Once the cruise has come to an end, jump back on your comfortable coach for a relaxing journey back to Queenstown where you can reflect on your amazing day and the memories created that will last a lifetime.

Recommended, great driver and great bus. The food is great too and lovely staff on the boat. We had beautiful experience. Thanks Roland
We have had an amazing experience with Southern Discoveries Milford Sound trip. Everything was well organized. Our driver, Benjamin told us a lot of interesting stories and stopped at many attractive places. He is not only a good driver, but also a real guide and we think that the company is lucky to have him. The cruise boat was very good with fantastic buffet lunch and friendly stuff. We need to thank the organizers for such a good activity. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience
Everything was perfect. The tour was punctual, the driver was very kind and funny, the stops were great and the cruise unforgettable. I had lunch buffet, it was okay, but next time I’m not gonna take it, you miss some good views for eating. Great experience!!!!!
