What you can expect

There is no doubt that you have heard about Milford Sound whilst in New Zealand. And for good reason! It has often been described as the eighth wonder of the world and has some of the most spectacular scenery you will ever see. Embark on the Milford Sound Extaordinaire Tour from Te Anau to experience it for yourself!

Fiordland Tours offers an extended version of the Milford Sound Coach and Cruise from Te Anau, resulting in the very best views and experience. Groups are kept small with a maximum of 16 guests to ensure a relaxed and intimate day trip with plenty of legroom. Pick up is from your Te Anau accommodation followed by a 9.5 hour return trip into Fiordland National Park, including optional short walks, a homebaked-style morning tea, plus a 1 hour 45 minute small boat cruise in Milford Sound.

Listen to fun and informative commentary from your guide as you head into the largest national park in New Zealand. When you arrive at Milford Sound, you will board a 1 hour 45 minute cruise of the beautiful enchanting waters of the fiord (which is technically not a 'sound!). Be surrounded by cascading waterfalls, forest covered mountain peaks and spot the local wildlife in the area. Hopefully you will be lucky enough to encounter fur seals, dolphins and the rare Fiordland-crested penguin on your trip. 

Unlike other Milford Sound Coach and Cruise tour companies departing from Te Anau, Fiordland Tours offer a delicious homebaked morning tea that is provided during one of the stops en route to Milford Sound. There is also time to enjoy an optional short walk to explore more of Fiordland National Park throughout your journey. During the trip, your local Fiordland Tours driver and cruise guides are full of knowledge, so don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have!

Small group tour worked really well. Very comfortable van with lots of space and personalised service. Tania the guide was really informative helped us out at every step. Had a wonderful day. The packed lunch and morning tea saved us having to think about food on the trip. The smaller boat for the cruise was also great. No crowding and heaps of staff to explain everything

The bus trip was great in a small group as promised. The driver and guide, Jason, was just the best. He took his time and was knowledgeable. The boating part was on a regular crowded vessel though which was not made clear in the description upon booking. Feels a bit like a false promise. Milford Sound is beautiful but overcrowded. I got what I expected. Nothing more and nothing less.
