Milford Sound bus and wilderness cruise.

This was a comfortable, relaxing way to journey into Milford Sound. The driver (Stan the Man) was informative and entertaining, plus a very skilled driver on the treacherous roads and conditions, felt very safe in the modern, comfortable coach. Boat crew were welcoming and the vessel was spotless and roomy. Thank you for the best experience:)

Worth every penny

Definitely worth going! Pictures online don’t justify how beautiful Milford Sound is. Our coach driver was fun and he gave us heaps of time to take pictures. Picnic lunch is okay. We had sandwich, cheese and cracker, apple, chips and chocolate.

The Best Day

We were fortunate enough to book on a stunning day. The sights we got to see on the way and the Milford Fjord blew my mind. Such beauty! The day was long but I’d be happy for it to be longer as I loved every minute. The boat ride felt a bit short - needed another 20-30 minutes. Our driver was hilarious and made us 3 sisters feel very special and well informed.
