6.30am or 9am departure from Queenstown

Description

Milford Sound, also known as "the 8th wonder of the world", is a must do when visiting Queenstown. Take a day trip from Queenstown with Go Orange to visit the spectacle for yourself. With two departure times you can leave bright and early at 6.30am or opt for a more relaxed morning with a 9am departure. 

Milford is a sight to behold come rain or shine. When the sun shines it's pure heaven and when the rain pours the mountains come alive with a plethora of cascading waterfalls that plunge into the fiord, creating an ethereal feeling.

The Coach 
Leave the stress out of you day and let your driver navigate the long windy road whilst admiring the spectacular views along one of the most scenic alpine drives - the Milford Road. The varying scenery is mind blowing with lush plains, thick rainforest, towering mountains and glacial mountain vistas all in a days journey. The coach will drive you to Milford Sound where you will meet up with the midday cruise and return to Queenstown that same afternoon. Your entertaining, knowledgeable and experienced driver guide will deliver an informative English commentary en route. 

The Cruise
The Go Orange crew are on hand to provide you with a fantastic cruise of Milford Sound where you will cruise the fiordland all the way out to the Tasman Sea, travelling on the left hand side of the fiord before returning on the right. The Go Orange team will treat you to delicious food and coffee on your arrival. During the cruise keep your eyes peeled for glimpses of unique and rare wildlife such as dolphins, whales and the Fiordland Crested Penguin.
