Milford Sound Fly-Cruise-Fly Tour from Queenstown

Amanda_S, May 2026

Just book it!

You could not ask for a more amazing experience than flying to Milford Sound with True South. This is the most time efficient method to get to see Milford if you are on a short timeframe like we were. It was such a treat to see the gorgeous landscapes on the way in and way out as well as on the cruise. My favorite experience for our entire trip!!!!

Worth the long trip....

Worth the long trip. Watch Milford sound go from cloudy to rain for the next hour is a magical experience. Watch the colours an shapes disappear into greytone and contour. Lunch is simple and wholesome. Small bus group of 13, small boat of maybe 20. Very cozy and relaxed ride. Colin has amazing driving.

A must try for the views

Wonderful experience. The coach ride was comfortable although it was disappointing the usb outlets did not work. Our driver and tour guide Brandon was a fun character who made the ride enjoyable. He pointed out the sights and made extra stops along the way so everyone could get their photo opt. He kept a timely schedule and his driving was great on those twisty roads. The scenery was breath taking.

Guy_S, Apr 2026

Excellent - particularly capital and crew

Pure Milford - great way to see the sound. The capital and crew were BY FAR the friendliest, most accommodating, and knowledgeable people I've encountered on a short cruise like this. Heck, they will even take your picture without any bother. Boat was clean, free coffee drinks (cappuccino, mocha, etc).

Must-do when in Queenstown. Did this first when I visited in February with my sisters, and enjoyed it so much, I had to take my now husband on the way to our wedding. Both of us were really nervous before the first time we both went, but the drivers are absolutely amazing (I think they said they train for 18mths before they take passengers). Ngāi Tahu tourism are an extremely professional operation, and their safety record is impeccable. They are the best for a Queenstown jet boat experience - don't skimp and go for a cheaper operator - Shotover Jet have the exclusive rights to the section of river that's best for this. So much fun - you really won't regret it (and like us, will probably want to go again as soon as you get off!)

Steve_K, Apr 2026

Spectacular full day event

It was a very long (full day) but worthwhile trip. The drive is spectacular and particularly so as you get closer and closer to Milford Sound. The windowed roof of the bus accentuated this. Highly recommend. If you plan to stay in Te Anau, starting the trip from there is an option and would be much shorter.

If inside seating is a priority for you, arrive at least an hour early. It’s first come first serve. Otherwise you can sit outside, the seating is warm as it’s outside of the engine room and they give you blankets as well. They also do tray service outside so you can relax and have a drink.

Cruise Milford NZ Small Boutique Cruise Experience

Richu_S, Apr 2026

What an experience!!!

Had an excellent trip. The skipper, Hamish was very knowledgable about the sites seen during the cruise, and provided a litttle entertainment as well. The staff members were great also, very accomodating. I had both of my kids with me, and not long after the cruise had started did the male staff member bring over colouring pencils and pictures to colour in. It was a big help keeping them entertained. The lovely Faye was very delightful, a pleasure to talk to, and very welcoming and warm (much needed given how cold the day was lol). We were able to get very close to a couple of the falls, to the point that I ended up drenched, which was super fun. And even got to see a few of the seals hanging out. Overall, a great experience. 5 stars!

New Zealand has an entire continent’s worth of climates, natural beauty, and adventures crammed into two small islands. On the same trip, you can fly over a glacier in a helicopter; cruise the scenic Milford Sound on a sailboat; and meet indigenous communities during a cultural immersion experience with Maori guides. Plus, the Middle Earth-obsessed can explore Hobbiton, where the Lord of the Rings set lets your imagination run wild. There are New Zealand tours for every traveler type in this incredible country.
