All You Need to Know about Travelling to Milford Sound

The stunning and self proclaimed 'Eighth Wonder of the World', Milford Sound is an absolute must-do when travelling in New Zealand. The wilderness and adventure factor is taken up a notch here with unbelievable towering sea fjords, waterfalls, glacial peaks and unique wildlife. It’s completely impressive!

There are some fantastic tours into Milford Sound, and something for everyone, whether you’re feeling ultra luxe and want to fly in, or if you want to be completely overwhelmed by Milford Sound’s beauty from below - we’ve got you sorted!

To completely soak in the towering fjord, a day tour from Queenstown or Te Anau with a boat trip will leave you completely dwarfed by your surroundings, and mesmerised by the natural beauty.

Why not fly to Milford Sound, cruise around in a boat, and then fly home? Sounds like complete bliss because it is, and it's so exhilarating to see this wonder from above and below. There’s also an option to take a chopper too, and so then you can quote Arnie, which is on your bucket list anyway right ? 

”Get to the chopper!”

Having a good ol' gander at Milford Sound from above is something that you'll never forget. The rugged, steep cliffs covered in dense forest meet the dark water in spectacular fashion -plus, there are waterfalls and wildlife galore. On this tour, you can choose to fly in by plane, chopper or jump on the coach - it's a mix and match tour so you could do exactly as you please!

Chopper in, boat tour, chopper out? No problem!

Fly in, boat tour, coach home? Too easy!

Perhaps you'd prefer to keep your feet on the ground but would still like to enjoy a bit of a luxe? We recommend this Milford Sound Coach Tour. The coach has a glass-roof which means you won't miss the incredible landscape as you travel the Milford Road, and then you'll jump off onto a luxury catamaran to capture the sights of the Sound up close.

We think you’d be crazy not too! It’s one of the most stunning landscapes you will ever lay your eyes on. It’s a big call, and we stand behind it. Would you really go to the South Island and not swing by Milford Sound?

We've said it and we’ll say it again (wow, we felt like your parents then - sorry!), Milford Sound is a must do. You’ll want to jump on a boat and see the landscape from the water, which every tour here offers.
