Hey Guys, with is being a 4.5 hour trip from Queenstown, do the coaches have an ok board toilet or do you make stops along the way?
Comments
Heya, There are toilet stops every 1.5 - 2 hours so you will get about 2 or 3 of them. There are other stops as well where you can jump out to stretch your legs or take a picture but they do not have toilets.
Is there an option to buy our own takeaway lunch and where?
Comments
Hi Gene, You are welcome to bring packed lunches with you and there is a stop in Te Anau at the Taka He cafe where you can buy food too, as well as on the boat.

Comments
Heya, Pick up is from your Queenstown accommodation. The timings are usually around 7.30am pick up and around 8.30pm drop off. These are not exact timings as it varys depending on your accommodation but they are a good approximate.
is this a return trip to queenstown?
Is it possible to book only the cruise, as we are staying in Milford Sound and plan on booking the Morning Glory kayaking and then would like to also book a book cruise (same day as the kayaking - please advise?)
Comments
Yes if you are already going to be in Milford Sound then you can certainly just book the Milford boat cruise without the coach transfers from Te Anau or Queenstown. See the link below. If you are doing the morning glory kayak cruise first then this trip returns back to Milford wharf by midday so you could book the 1.35pm Nature Boat cruise
I am trying to figure out the best way to get to Milford Sound from Queenstown. Does the cruise take 4.5 hours because there are several site seeing stops along the way we don't want to miss, or is it 4.5 hours of straight driving? If we stop, how many times do we stop and for how long each time/ How long would it take if we drove straight to Milford sound? I look forward to your answers. Thank you!
Hi, is there an optional international buffet lunch to choose during the cruis?
Comments
Hi David, unfortunately there isn't a buffet lunch on this cruise. There are a couple of different lunch options though which need to be pre-ordered and you can choose from the standard picnic lunch (currently $17) which consists of a sandwich, biscuit, cheese & crackers, fresh fruit and juice. There is also a Japanese Obento option (currently $33) which contains miso soup, rice, fish, chicken, pickles, sushi, salad and fresh fruit.
We are staying in Te Anau on Friday night 11th April after completing the Kepler Track. We would like to go to Milford Sound on Saturday 12th April and do the boat trip and then go back to Queenstown on the Saturday night afterwards. Is this possible? We would need to take our bags with us from Te Anau or be able to pick them up on our way through to Queenstown.
Comments
Hi Lachlan. Yes this is certainly possible. We can arrange for you to be picked up from your accommodation in Te Anau and then dropped off at your accommodation in Queenstown after your Milford Sound boat cruise. The cost is the same as the coach and cruise from Queenstown which is currently $178 per person. To book simply click on the green book now button. Just be sure to mention in the additional information field that you wish to be picked up from your accommodation in Te Anau and dropped off in Queenstown afterwards.
What time does the coach return to Queenstown, please? There's a reference to it being a 13 hour trip - so I'm assuming it's sometime between 8 and 9pm?
Thanks, John.

When are you planning on doing this tour? The picnic lunch is normally $17. Alternatively you are welcome to bring your own packed lunch on board or you can buy some food in Te Anau when you stop off on the coach in the morning on the way from Queenstown.
Hi,
The coach tour says it is a duration of 13 hours from Queenstown. Does that mean transfer from Queenstown and back to Queenstown? We are there for a holiday from 05 Feb and would perhaps like to do this but of course have to get back to Queenstown again that night?
Thank you

Hi Kirsty. If you book the Milford Sound coach and cruise from Queenstown its a 13 hour return trip from Queenstown. Its about 5 hours each way in the bus and you spend about 3 hours in Milford Sound including a 2 hour boat cruise with a qualified nature guide on board giving commentary. The coach usually arrives back in Queenstown around 7.30pm at night.
