Overview

Experience stunning scenery on an unforgettable day trip to Milford Sound.
The pristine Milford Sound is part of the World Heritage Fiordland National Park, in the south west of the South Island, and is famed for its remote atmosphere and rugged beauty. It is New Zealand’s best known fiord and the only one that can be reached by road. Maori are believed to have discovered Milford Sound more than 1,000 years ago, returning seasonally to collect the prized pounamu (greenstone). In the early 1800s John Grono was the first European settler to land in the sound, which he named after Milford Haven in Wales.
Described by Rudyard Kipling as the 'eighth wonder of the world', Milford Sound was carved by glaciers during the ice ages. Milford Sound is breathtaking in any weather. Cliffs rise high into the air from the dark waters, mountain peaks scrape the sky and waterfalls cascade downwards, some as high as 1000 metres.

Mercedes minibus sounds great but seats are rather Narrow. Great guide but Milford Sounds is busy and cloud obscured and rainy for 60 percent of the year. This can impact on what you can actually see

Great commentary from our bus driver David (10 out of 10). A fantastic experience even on a wet and very cloudy day as we experienced this amazing place showing us exactly what it needs to be like to create the growth of plants on those cliff faces. An experience to be appreciated!!

This trip is incredible! Long bus ride for sure but our guide, Chao, was great! Kept us laughing along the way and had plenty of great information about Milford sound and the area in general. Once you’re there it’s hard to stop taking pictures, everything is so beautiful! Would recommend the trip and even do it again!
