Boat Day Trips Milford Sound

This
transport option operated by Grayline/Intercity is operated on a modern
50-seater coach. It connects with our small boutique boat cruise at Milford
Sound.


Pickups
are available from selected hotels around Queenstown starting at 7.15am. The
driver will give a commentary throughout the drive and point out different
sights.


The
first stop is at the Kiwi Country Cafe in Te Anau's town center. Breakfast,
snacks & drinks for the day as well as souvenirs can be purchased during
the 30min break. There are two supermarkets within 5min walking distance and
the beautiful Lake Te Anau (New Zealand's second largest lake) is only 200m
away.


Along
the way to Milford Sound the coach will stop 2-3 times for photo opportunities.


We connect with one
of our Boutique Small Boat Cruises at Milford Sound. Enjoy complimentary
coffee, tea and biscuits while marveling at the breath-taking scenery. The smaller
size of the vessel enables us to get you up close and personal with
the local wildlife like New Zealand Fur Seals, dolphins and the very rare
Fiordland Crested Penguin (spring/early summer). A “Glacial Facial” under
the Sterling Falls is an experience not to be missed.


After
the cruise returns the coach will make its way back to Queenstown for a drop
off around 7.30pm.


A
packed lunch can be added to the tour. Please specify any dietary requirements
or allergies at the time of booking.

This tour is operated by our local partners Cheeky Kiwi. Their 16-seater Mercedes Sprinters offer a very smooth ride for your day tour.
With pickup's from selected hotels from 7am onward we set off from Queenstown and travel along Lake Wakatipu. Our first stop is at the head of the lake. The view from here back to Queenstown is spectacular.
After a couple more stops we arrive in Te Anau at the Alpine Center Cafe for a 30min break. Food, drinks and souvenirs can be purchased here and we always stop to feed the Alpacas outside.
On the way to Milford Sound we stop many more times for short walks and photo opportunities. The Mercedes Sprinter Vans can get to places none of the bigger coaches can.
At Milford Sound the tour connects with our Boutique Small Boat cruise. Enjoy your packed lunch box and complimentary coffee, tea and biscuits on-board while cruising past sheer cliff faces and cascading waterfalls.
The smaller size of the vessel allows us to get up close and personal with the local wildlife like New Zealand Fur Seals, dolphins or the rare Fiordland Crested Penguin. A "Glacial Facial" is an experience not to be missed.
After the cruise returns we make our way back to Queenstown were we will drop you off around 8pm.
