This full-day small group tour to Milford Sound from Queenstown offers a personal and immersive way to experience one of New Zealand’s most iconic destinations. Travel in comfort through Fiordland National Park in a modern minibus, with a knowledgeable local guide providing insights and stories along the way.

Departing from Queenstown, the journey takes in Lake Wakatipu, the Devil’s Staircase, Te Anau and the dramatic alpine scenery of the Eglinton Valley and Mirror Lakes. As you venture further into Fiordland, highlights include the Hollyford River, Falls Creek, and the Darran Mountains before passing through the Homer Tunnel and descending into Milford Sound.

Once there, you’ll join a boutique small boat cruise operated by Cruise Milford.

A picnic lunch is included, with plenty of time to take in the scenery.

On the return trip to Queenstown, your guide will make more scenic stops, ensuring the journey back is just as enjoyable. With limited group sizes and a relaxed pace, this Milford Sound tour combines spectacular views, informative commentary and memorable experiences.
