Milford Sound Day Tour from Te Anau

This itinerary is highly recommended! The scenery along the way is absolutely beautiful. Depending on the situation, there will be stops where you can get off to take photos and use the restroom. Before the vehicle arrives, you can exchange your tickets at the visitor center. You can also purchase a buffet or bento box for the day on-site at the visitor center.

New Zealanders are so friendly. The driver is very polite and responsible. The driving is safe and the introduction is detailed. The bus is also very new, with large landscape windows and very comfortable to sit on. Milford Sound is also beautiful and highly recommended.

As the booking date was affected by the weather and the road was closed, Southern Discovery personally notified the day before and arranged to participate the following day. Although it rains almost all day and the scenery is black and white and gray like Chinese landscape paintings, it is beautiful along the way and the coach is very comfortable. The driver has been very professional in introducing the scenery and local information and parking at several attractions for photos. The sea itinerary is also beautiful, and buffets are also available. Satisfied with the arranged taxi transfer to the hotel. Klook's QR code is very convenient.

I enjoyed the bus ride to Milford Sound as Gabe, our driver and guide, was so entertaining and knowledgeable in his commentary about the places we visited. Beautiful stopovers that are Insta worthy. And of course the ferry ride at Milford Sound was the icing on an already lovely cake.

We needed to arrive at the meeting point early; we got there at 9:50 AM, and the bus departed once everyone had arrived. The driver's commentary was very engaging throughout the trip, and he even stopped at places like Mirror Lake to let us get off and take photos. If you don't understand English, you can download the Southern Explorations app, which offers Chinese explanations. It's worth noting that the Chinese commentary is thorough and comprehensive, not just a superficial overview. You can listen to it both on the bus and during the boat ride. It automatically plays based on your GPS location. It's truly convenient!

Although the weather was very bad, with heavy rain and fog, the waterfalls in Milford Sound were still spectacular. The buffet on the boat is delicious

After the order is completed, klook will send information to inform the meeting time and place. But because there are other people in the same hotel participating in the trips of different companies, and the late arrival of the taxi, we are a bit confused about which one to take. Fortunately, after the taxi driver arrived, he had to confirm his name before being transferred to the tourist bus station. However, after arriving at the tourist bus stop, I had no idea which bus to take. I asked the three bus drivers back and forth, and finally started a day trip. The drivers along the way will continue to explain, and will also find rest stations and attractions to take pictures and rest for everyone. The Chinese tour is guided by a machine and will be explained randomly at the appropriate place. If the English is good enough, you can listen to the driver ’s instructions. I think it ’s more detailed. Arrive at Milford Sound Port and follow the driver's instructions to take the boat. Since we ordered a Japanese bento, we were arranged immediately. If you choose a buffet, you have to wait in long lines to find a seat, which is inconvenient. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and the weather was super nice that day, and the journey was very pleasant. After the cruise, you will return to the original bus and return to the boarding point in the morning. The journey takes about 12-13 hours a day, and the return car really fell asleep.

it’s a GREAT TRIP! the coach was on time, the ride was comfortable and smooth. we encountered a hiccup when the bus broke down but the humorous bus captain was calm, cracked some jokes while resolving the problem. ample time was given for photo taking at different viewpoints. no need to get the buffet lunch, in my opinion. pack something simple, like buying sandwich n chips in supermarket in the morning. it saves you $$. for me, I didn’t spend too much time eating. I went to the top deck to see Milford sound. most gorgeous view! we saw dolphins too!!

Really a sight to behold, an absolute stunning day to do this trip. The waterfalls, the sheer cliffs, the wildness of this part of the world was just spectacular. Very reasonable you priced and well worth every cent. I think every NZer should see this wonder of the world, should be compulsory. AAA+

It is a very worthwhile trip. Although it takes a long time to pull the car from Queenstown, some lookout drivers and guides on the way will also stay. The fun introduction and comfortable bus make us enjoy this trip quite. Although the car has wifi and a charging plug, it is very thoughtful, but there is no signal for about half of the journey. The buffet bar on the boat is delicious, and the cruise time is very good. I can go out to take a picture after the meal and rush to the waterfall.
