Milford Sound Coach & Cruise Day Trip from Te Anau

Join a shared guided trip from Queenstown or Te Anau, pairing an alpine coach journey with a boat cruise through Milford Sound. Take in the fiord's mountains and waterfalls from the water while someone else handles the driving.

Itinerary

1. Start with a shared pickup in Queenstown; your pickup time is assigned in advance and differs from the option's departure time. For Te Anau options, meet at Kiwi Country / Hollyford Cafe at 08:30, 10:00, or 11:00, and look for the Pure Milford coach outside the Kiwi Country gift shop.
2. Explore Fiordland National Park on a guided tour through Eglinton Valley, Mirror Lakes, Monkey Creek, Homer Tunnel, and Milford Sound. The guided tour lasts 12 hours from Queenstown or 7 hours 30 minutes from Te Anau. Some attractions may be skipped because of capacity or weather conditions.
3. Return by included shuttle. Queenstown options return at 18:30 for the 05:45 option, 20:00 for the 07:15 option, or 20:30 for the 08:15 option. Te Anau options return at 16:00 for the 08:30 option, 17:30 for the 10:00 option, or 18:30 for the 11:00 option.
