Itinerary
Take a spectacular journey into Piopiotahi Milford Sound by luxury coach before exploring the ‘eighth wonder of the world’ on a 2-hour cruise.
Travel along the famous Milford Road in one of our glass-roofed coaches, specially designed for your viewing comfort. An experienced driver will be your nature guide for the day, sharing local knowledge and stopping off to explore their favourite scenic locations along the way. Once you reach Milford Sound, jump aboard a spacious RealNZ vessel and cruise out to the Tasman Sea, passing by the world-renowned Mitre Peak. An onboard Nature Guide will share insightful commentary about the Fiord, and be on the lookout for dolphins, penguins and fur seals. Informative, participative, and relaxed - this is the perfect way to experience Piopiotahi Milford Sound to the fullest.
The journey to Milford Sound is as spectacular as the destination. Sit back, relax and take in the views from Queenstown to Milford Sound

Amazing nature and wildlife viewing opportunity
