Combine a luxury coach tour through spectacular alpine scenery in one of New Zealand’s more remote areas with a cruise on Milford Sound on this full day tour of Fiordland National Park.  

Departing Te Anau on your glass roofed luxury coach you will travel to Milford Sound along one of NZ’s most isolated and beautiful highways, the 119km Milford Road.  The winding road takes you through magnificent beech forest, past mountains and vast plains, valleys, lakes and small townships.  There is time to stop en route to enjoy photo opportunities and short walks with informative signs outlining the flora and fauna of the area. 

See the Mirror Lakes on a calm day reflecting perfectly the snow covered Earl Mountains towering high above them and travel through the pitch black Homer Tunnel, a 1.2km tunnel cut through the Homer Saddle in a steep gradient down towards Milford.  The area around the tunnel is covered with alpine shrubs, flowers and tussock and is home to the world’s only alpine parrot, the mischievous Kea.  Before arriving at the Sound you will have one final stop at The Chasm where two footbridges offer amazing views of a series of waterfalls scoured out by the Cleddau River.

Once at Milford you will board your boat and cruise the length of the sound out to the Tasman Sea.  The steep cliffs in the fiord were carved by an ancient glacier and you will be amazed that the rainforest clings to the rock face in the midst of thundering waterfalls that pour into the water around you.  The cruise takes in the waterfalls, rainforest and wildlife that make Milford Sound one of New Zealand’s most spectacular wonders with running commentary from your crew who highlight Milford’s fascinating ecosystem and explain the diverse underwater habitat that is home to hundreds of rare plant, coral and both freshwater and sea life. 

Back on your coach sit back and relax as you return to Te Anau in comfort after a day of adventure.
