Experience Milford Sound, the 8th wonder of the world, with a fascinating Coach & Cruise trip brought to you by Southern Discoveries.
Amazing experience. Such a majestic part of NZ..Keith was incredibly knowledgeable and stopped for plenty of photo opportunities on the way to Milford. Highly recommend!
Fantastic coach driver Stan who was professional and humor appropriate. Made the experience so much relaxing compared to self drive with stops along the way for photo ops. 10/10 for coach. Cruise and service was great, dampened by cloudy weather. Buffet people get lower level on boat.
Our driver Greig was great! Very knowledgeable of the route and photo opportunities. Very professional and a great driver despite the sound system not working for commentary.
This cruise is a must! The sites were absolutely breathtaking, nothing like I had seen before. Our driver was excellent, we loved learning about the history of the areas we are traveling through and he was hilarious! We can't wait to bring the kids back to experience this trip!

Our cruise experience was absolutely fantastic. Hamish, our driver and guide, was extremely knowledgeable and navigated the challenging roads to Milford with great care and professionalism. He ensured every passenger felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey while providing fascinating insights into the history, culture, and local folklore of Queenstown. This was one of the highlights of our trip and a special memory that my family and I will treasure for years to come.
