Enjoy a taste of luxury with a premium locally run Milford Sound expedition, designed to maximize your experience as you embark on a breath-taking scenic adventure to discover New Zealand’s own, Milford Sound!
The Coach Driver:Stan,was so lovely and made the long trip enjoyable.Actually the Coach Driver:Stan made the trip AMAZING.Stan informed us about scenic knowledge and provided us with all operational information.Stan was so funny and made sure we were always on time.Diffently recommend Southern Discoveries and Stan the Coach Driver.
Our amazing trip took about 12.5 hours. We departed from the Southern Discoveries Center at 7 a.m. The front desk staff were very friendly and kindly reminded us to exchange our passes first. Our driver, Junior, was fantastic—a true storyteller! He shared interesting facts and stories about all the sights along the way. At times, I wished he’d take a sip of water to keep his throat from getting dry—he talked a lot, in the best way! During the cruise, we saw three siphons, some adorable baby sea seals, and several stunning waterfalls—it was truly breathtaking. We arrived safely in Queenstown at the end of the day. I’m giving this trip a full 5 stars—absolutely top-notch. Oh, and one more thing: I really enjoyed the buffet on the cruise!
Takes way too long to get there The bus driver was very monotonous
Absolutely fabulous trip! Great Coach and very informative Driver! The weather was very bad - lots of rain but was just an awesome sight with thousands of waterfalls in the mountains! Weather Very Rough that day on boat trip but was a one in a lifetime experience and would recommend to all! Cheers.

Memorable Family trip with Southern Discoveries
Stan is a professional driver and was a great tour guide entertaining us with facts/knowledge of new zealand with a bonus dad jokes. But really our family enjoy the trip, less hassle for us, the milford itself is a beauty and a gift and having Stan handling the bus with his experience is a bonus for us. We will recommend the service and company to everyone. It's a must and all worth it. Thank you Team!
