Milford Sound Coach & Cruise de Queenstown: Vista panorâmica

Everything worked perfectly. Our guide provided knowledgeable information along the way. He stopped several times along the way for photos, once for a breakfast break and another for a bathroom break. On board the buses, there is no storage space for bags except between your own feet. Since the buses have a glass roof, there is no storage space above the heads, and there is also no net on the back of the respective front seat. The bus was only heated a little on board, which we found very pleasant in the curves, as it helped us get less motion sick. The buses are very new and in very good condition. However, we found the seats to be very, very narrow, without being particularly thick or large. At least you can recline them quite far back. No toilets on board the buses. The ship drove very close to a waterfall once. Even if you stood at the railing in the front, you hardly got wet, however. The change of clothes we brought with us was therefore unnecessary. We had booked the tour with a buffet, which we would not do again. You spend the first 20-30 minutes below deck because of this and, despite the windows, see less of the tour. The food was a bit bland, but okay. Knowledgeable information on the go.

A very long day but well worth it! Our guide, Haymish, was great and his stories and knowledge about New Zealand and the scenery around us helped the drive pass by (as did looking at the beautiful views out the window!). We had a few stops on the way for coffee/breakfast, opportunities to see some lakes, rivers, and other scenic points, and to stretch our legs. The Milford Sound cruise was incredible and worth the drive! Would recommend this trip to anyone visiting NZ.

Amazing tour and views! Enjoyed every bit of the trip. Our driver, Vaughan (I think that was his name!), had great commentary and knowledge, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Would 100% do another tour with this company!

Hamish is THE MAN🙌 smoothe drive, entertaining, informative, helpful and very accommodating to everyone! This tour was a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience. A MUST DO for sure. Thanks to Hamish and the team for a memorable day.

Great day travelling to cruise the Milford Sound with Southern Discoveries in one of their glass top buses. The bus driver 'Brownie' as he calls himself was very informative about the areas we drove through and made a few photo stops along the way. The boat was beautiful and the buffet lunch we paid for ahead of time offered a variety of delicious options to please all palates. This tour company is centrally located in Queenstown where we boarded the bus but they also picked up other groups at their hotels along the way. I highly recommend booking with Southern Discoveries. They are top notch!

This tour was top knotch! Ellie was the best guide, so funny and kind and thoughtful, saved us a set of 4 seats together on the bus when we boarded, suggesting we stock up on lunch items in te Anau, and so informative, with lots of local knowledge along the way. We noticed of all the buses, southern discoveries has the most modern one and also has a glass roof so u can see the alps as you drive, plus ph charger. The 2 hour boat tour is the best, if u drive all that way, of course a longer boat ride is the choice. Jack was an excellent driver too. It was the highlight day of a 2 week NZ trip for us!

Coach crew, Nick and Ally were great! Lot of knowledge and they were so funny and kind. We also had great experience on the boat, with Jess as a guide. We were lucky enough to see dolphins and seals! Everything was going great and we didn't have any issues on our trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our journey to Milford Sound, and it was truly made special by the amazing team of Southern Discoveries! A big thank you to Jas from Lady Bowen Cruise, who was exceptional throughout the cruise. Jas was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the entire experience both informative and enjoyable. The way everything was explained, along with the friendly approach, really enhanced our appreciation of the stunning scenery. We would also like to sincerely appreciate Bus Captain Peter and the driver Jack for the journey from Queenstown to Milford Sound. The drive was long but absolutely seamless, thanks to their professionalism, safe driving, and great attitude. The commentary along the way, smooth handling of the bus, and well-timed stops made the trip comfortable and memorable. Overall, a truly 5-star experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this team to anyone planning a trip to Milford Sound!

This was a long day be really enjoyable. Our driver Greg was excellent. We paid extra for the buffet…that was a mistake.

Our tour guide, Vaughn, was excellent and made the trip for us. We would whole heartedly recommend him to others who decide to make this trip! We are from Maine and were a little disappointed not to see much in the way of marine life. However, the day was absolutely beautiful and we are both glad we got to experience Milford Sound and the fun of listening to all of Vaughn’s stories about the region! He warned us that seeing marine life wasn’t a guarantee, but as we stated above, Vaughn more than made up for it! Ralph and Josie Davies Harpswell, Maine
