Description
Experience the best of Fiordland without worrying about driving. Travel in our comfortable glass-roof coach to a working farm in Te Anau, then a premium coach transfers you to Milford Sound for a nautre cruise - all in one easy day trip.
Start your day from Queenstown with a coach transfer to a local farm in Te Anau where you'll spend an hour experiencing authentic New Zealand farm life. You'll see working dogs rounding up sheep, watch sheep shearing demonstrations, and feed friendly farm animals. Enjoy morning tea while your local farming hosts share stories about life on the land.
Your driver will then take you along the famous Milford Road, stopping at the best scenic spots for photos. When you reach Milford Sound, you'll board a spacious vessel for a two-hour Nature Cruise. The boat has large indoor viewing areas with big windows and outdoor decks where you can get close to waterfalls and look for wildlife. You might see seals sunbathing on rocks or dolphins swimming in the fiord while your skipper tells you about this special place.
Free tea and coffee are available during your cruise, and you can listen to the commentary in different languages through the Southern Discoveries app. This thoughtfully designed itinerary combines transport, local culture, and natural wonders in one seamless experience.
