Discover Milford Sound Tour Queenstown Reviews

Discover Milford Sound New Zealand

Milford Sound is roughly a 5 hour drive from Queenstown, New Zealand, and as there is no accommodation whatsoever at Milford Sound, except for an overnight tour from Queenstown, most travelers either self drive or take a guided bus tour.

The road to Milford Sound is spectacular, to say the least, so why miss all the New Zealand scenery and magnificent views by being behind the wheel of a car when you can sit back and enjoy the countryside.

Discover Milford Sound Tour is the smart option to take, as you not only get to enjoy the countryside and impressive mountain views on the way there and back, your seat on a cruise vessel is already arranged and there is also the option of a delicious gourmet buffet lunch. How good is that.

Milford Sound has the highest rainfall of anywhere in the world, raining on an average 182 days a year, so make sure you carry wet weather gear just in case you are there on one of those days. The high rainfall is another good reason to take the coach tour, let the professional driver, who knows the road, worry about the conditions while you relax and enjoy the trip.

The rain is a god send in that it makes for spectacular waterfalls that you will see on the Red Boat cruise. You get up close to three permanent waterfalls - the Stirling, Fairy and Lady Bowen Falls, and if there has been recent rain there are numerous other small falls created. There is the chance of viewing dolphins, seals and perhaps a school of penguins.

Milford Sound is an extraordinary place of natural beauty forged from a glacier centuries ago. Sheer cliffs plunge into the sea and provide stunning scenery and sheltered waters that are at times like mirrors, making for spectacular photographs. Don't miss this tour.
