What to expect
Travels along the shores of Lake Wakatipu and Lake Te Anau before the glacial carved mountains of Fiordland National Park, and a cruise at Milford Sound. The coach and cruise tour allows you to be taken care of all day.
Starting from being picked up, you'll sit back, relax, and enjoy an unforgettable journey of a lifetime. Travel south along the shore of Lake Wakatipu, a deep glacial lake surrounded by soaring steep mountains. Then west across Northern Southland to Te Anau where a 30 minute stop allows you to walk around the pretty village nestled on the shores of Lake Te Anau.
Next, travel in a northerly direction to see the vast wilderness of Fiordland National unfold on the opposite side of the lake. Learn about the lake from the informative guide before the coach enters the national park via Eglington Valley. Once at Milford a 2-hour cruise commences aboard one of the modern three-deck catamarans taking you the length of the fjord to the Tasman Sea and back. Hear about the local Maori Legends and why Captain Cook failed to discover Milford Sound whilst trying to spot seals often meters away.
