About

Enjoy an intimate journey to Milford Sound, combining small-group road travel with extended time on the fiord for those who want to see more and stay longer.

From Queenstown, the road to Milford Sound is a journey through the best of the south: along Lake Wakatipu beneath the Remarkables, through Northern Southland farmland, and into Fiordland National Park, where the Milford Road climbs to the Homer Tunnel. In a glass-roof Mercedes Sprinter with a maximum of 12 guests, the long way there is part of the experience, panoramic views all day, and a driver-guide who knows every bend.

At the fiord, the Discover More Cruise rewards the journey: up to 2 hours 15 minutes on the water, the longest cruise on Milford Sound, with a Nature Guide onboard and a picnic lunch as you cruise. Then sit back, recharge, and watch the scenery run in reverse on the way home.

  • Travel to Milford Sound in a small group, with a maximum of 12 guests onboard the vehicle
  • Customised glass-roof Mercedes Sprinter featuring 12 leather seats, wide windows and panoramic views overhead
  • Onboard Wi-Fi, USB and USB-C charging, and a refillable chilled water dispenser
  • Informative commentary from your driver-guide throughout the Milford Road journey
  • Time to engage, ask questions and enjoy the journey as it unfolds
