Milford Sound Tagesausflug von Queenstown

Amazing experience Very professional from start to finish Booking customer service excellent The coach driver Peanut was exceptionally knowledgeable coach was comfortable on schedule and cruise was spectacular.I would highly recommend this company.

We took the bus tour from Queenstown to Milford Sound and had an amazing experience. Milford Sound was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning views throughout the trip. A special thank you to our tour guide, Brian, who was fantastic! It was a memorable day. Will be visiting again. Would highly recommend this tour to others.

Wonderful day with RealNZ! We stayed in Te Anau, which made joining the tour at the RealNZ Visitor Center in Te Anau at 7:45am quite easy. It started with a 2 hour bus ride on Milford Road to Milford Sound, which was absolutely breathtaking. We were lucky it was a sunny day. Our driver was entertaining, and was smart with the stops for photo taking. The cruise itself was lovely. The boat glided through the Sound, and lingered by several waterfalls and a rock with lounging seals, allowing everyone ample time to take photos. We packed a small lunch, but a lunch was available for order ahead of time. Highly recommend this trip!

Wonderful experience - the drive down and back was as good as the boat trip around the sound. It was raining, but that was a bonus because all the waterfalls were full and running. A great day out. Next time, we will do Doubtful Sound.

Let me just put this out there, the scenery is absolutely stunning. It’s something you can’t really take your eyes off of. The geography and biodiversity of the area is something entirely unique and worth seeing. If that’s all your care about, then read no more. However, there are a few drawbacks. This are is VERY touristy, for good reason. But these are your very annoying type of tourists, the ones that are loud, pushy, and incessantly getting in the way to get photos and video to put on TikTok. It’s not a quiet nature get-away like one might think. The boat was very crowded as well, standing room only. And people would push past you, and I mean literally push past you, to get the good views. Milford sound is also a rainforest. They get like 9 meters of rain a year. It rains constantly. Plan accordingly. Also, Milford sound is relatively remote. Even if you get on the bus midway through at Te Arau, it’s still a 2 hour bus ride to Milford sound. They make stops along the way for pictures and a bathroom break, but expect the bus (and everything else) to be very crowded. The actual cruise is about 90ish minutes if I remember correctly, most of the day is spent getting there and back on the bus. Nothing the operator can do about that, but something to know. Ultimately, if you have the time, it’s probably worth it. The scenery is spectacular. However, as a person who loves the outdoors as a way to relax and take in nature, this just isn’t it. Head up north to Wanaka if you want that. It’s equally as scenic and has like a tenth of the tourist traffic, if that. And it’s only an hour outside Queenstown. This tour is very crowded and that was a bit disappointing to me. It didn’t ruin my experience, but it was a bit of a downer. I wouldn’t say avoid this, but I’m also not jumping up and down to recommend it either. I hope that helps.

This was an amazing one-day tour, taking us to see the amazing sights of Milford Sound, including a 1-2 hour cruise. The drive along with the way also included a few great views, with the tour making some stops for us to take photos. Baruch is an amazing tour guide, providing helpful explanations injected with humor.

Ingenious beautiful excursion, a nature experience special. Small tip, by bus from Te Anau, to the door in the port and no parking problem.

We had a great time. The travel from Te Anau to Milford Sound was long, and from Queenstown even longer so would recommend staying in Te Anau or bringing a lot of things to do on the bus ride. Getting to Milford Sound was a rewarding experience, and the 2 hour cruise was lovely. No rain on our day, but it was beautiful nonetheless. Our tour guide on the bus ride, Brian, was amazing and chirpy! Great tour and one to definitely do when on the South Island.

We took the bus from Te Anu to Milford sound and then took a cruise. On the bus ride down the driver ,Baruch, had so much information to pass on that he couldn't stop talking for the life of him . I got on the boat with a headache the view was OK, it rained and was really cloudy. All in all wasn't worth the money.t

Informative guide/bus driver. He provided a lot of information! The bus ride was long but guide provided several breaks and shared a bit of the flora, fauna, and history. Through no fault of the tour operators, the boat was very crowded! This was the Tet New Year. Had I realized it, I might have taken a smaller tour.
