Full description

Start your day in central Te Anau as you board a modern tour bus and begin to explore Fiordland's stunning natural beauty. Knowledgeable local guides will share everything their homeland has to offer through informative commentary, scenic photo stops, and short nature walks. Cruise the full length of Milford Sound, and take in the spectacular scenery as mountains plunge into the deep waters of the Fiord. Ancient rainforests give way to towering waterfalls dropping from hanging valleys sparkling into the ocean below. 

Milford Sound is abundant with unique birds and wildlife. See seals lounging on the rocks and playing in the shallows. On occasion dolphins, whales, and the very rare Fiordland Crested Penguin visit the sounds providing privileged photo opportunities. 

Enjoy the fantastic scenery and nature walks in order to fully admire the true wilderness and grand vistas of Fiordland National Park.

    Very enjoyable ride with Debbie. She was a top notch driver and very informative. . We boarded the coach in Te Anau, but it originated in Queenstown so almost full on arrival. She saved seats for us in the back of the bus. Boarded the cruise immediately upon arriving at The Sound and that too was a delight. Perfect day. Would highly recommend the tour.

    We had the most special guide/bus driver from Pure Milford. She was such a lovely lady, sorry we can’t remember her name. So helpful and knowledgeable. The boat trip on Milford Sound was amazing and we saw so many waterfalls after all the rainfall. Such a great experience!

    On time, informative, comfortable, exactly as advertised. The driver was brilliant. So informative, and did not stop talking the whole way to Milford Sound. Boat ride was excellent, and lunch was tasty and filling. All in all a great day and worthwhile doing.
