Tour Description :

Duration: 7.20am to 7.45 pm

A full day tour from Queenstown visiting the country’s most famous natural attraction in the Fiordland National Park. See steep mountains including Mitre Peak which rises directly out of the sea to a snow capped peak 1,722 meters above sea level.
Take an unforgettable journey into the heart of Milford Sound, New Zealand’s most famous tourist destination with guided commentary from your driver throughout the day. You’ll experience the world-famous fiord in all its natural glory – surrounded by dense rainforest, glacier-carved valleys and beautiful waterfalls.
Your glass-roof coach will provide amazing views of the dramatic skyline as you cross the Main Divide of the Southern Alps, with stunning mountain peaks all around. Stop at Monkey Creek and sample some of the purest water in the world (but watch out for cheeky kea – native mountain parrots!). Travel under the mountains through the Homer Tunnel, a 1.2km passageway drilled into solid rock, and descend through native forest into Milford Sound.
A one hour 45 minutes cruise around the fiord highlights the many water falls taking you up close to these magnificent land formations.
