Itinerary

Start your tour by making your way to one of the many pickup points in Queenstown, then make your way to one of New Zealand's most picturesque destinations - Milford Sound. Travel in a premium Mercedes van with a small group, passing by the stunning landscapes of Lake Wakatipu and Lake Te Anau.

Journey through Fiordland National Park, making stops for photos at the scenic Eglinton Valley and a nature walk at the Mirror Lakes.

Traverse the Homer Tunnel and enter Milford Sound, where a nature cruise awaits. Sail beneath towering peaks, witnessing cascading waterfalls and diverse wildlife, including dolphins and fur seals.

The journey concludes with a comfortable return to your original point of departure in Queenstown.

【Lake Wakatipu】(Pass by)
Start your day by meeting our friendly local guide at or near your Queenstown accommodation. You'll travel in style in a premium Mercedes van designed for touring with only 16 seats onboard. The first leg of our journey to Milford Sound transports you from Queenstown through the picturesque Southland farming country and the charming town of Te Anau, where we'll make a brief stop by the lakeside for refreshments.

【Lake Te Anau】
Lake Te Anau is in the southwestern corner of the South Island of New Zealand. The lake covers an area of 344 km², making it the second-largest lake by surface area in New Zealand and the largest in the South Island. It is the largest lake in Australasia by fresh water volume.

【Fiordland National Park (Te Wahipounamu)】(180 minutes)
From here, we welcome you to the Fiordland National Park and the renowned Milford Road. This corridor to the fjord unveils a different side of New Zealand, with its majestic mountains, winding rivers, and the cheeky Kea bird. Throughout the journey, your guide will make multiple stops for photo opportunities, short walks, and will entertain you with fascinating local facts and stories.

【Eglinton Valley】(5 minutes)
See the picturesque Eglinton Valley.

【Mirror Lakes Walk】(10 minutes)
Enjoy a beautiful short nature walk and view the famous Mirror Lakes.

【Homer Tunnel】
The Homer Tunnel is a 1.2 km long road tunnel in the Fiordland region of the South Island of New Zealand, opened in 1953. New Zealand State Highway 94 passes through the tunnel, linking Milford Sound to Te Anau and Queenstown, by piercing the Darran Mountain range at the Homer Saddle.

【Milford Sound】(120 minutes)
Upon reaching Milford Sound, embark on a 1hr 45min nature cruise that takes you beneath the towering peaks of the fjord. This small boat cruise, accompanied by a knowledgeable onboard nature guide, allows you to explore the edges of the fjord, revealing its impressive waterfalls and unique wildlife, which may include dolphins, penguins, fur seals, and native birdlife.

【Te Anau】(5 minutes)
After your cruise, rejoin the van to commence the return journey to Queenstown. Sit back, relax, and take in the views. This day tour spans approximately 12-13 hours, and our smaller vehicles and attentive guide ensure your comfort and entertainment throughout the journey.

【Queenstown】(5 minutes)
On arrival back into Queenstown, your guide will return you back to the same location they picked you up from, or you can choose to be dropped in Queenstown.
