If you are going in the winter like we did, prepare for it to be cold …even on the bus. The great thing about this bus is that it has gigantic windows and a windowed rooftop, which offers incredible views without pressing your face to the glass, but probably makes it more difficult to heat the bus. We were freezing.... More

I went from Queenstown to Milford Sound and back two weeks ago with Milford Sound Select. Our tour guide was most knowledgable and gave us a great ride to the sound. The boat ride on the sound was spectacular and it was an incredibly memorable experience. The glass topped bus allowed for great views of the mountains as we made... More

Thursday, Feb 23, 2012. Milford Sound was on my schedule for the day. I booked in with Milford Sound Select which was recommended to me from other tourists I met who had taken the trip. The bus arrived on time and I was happy to notice the rooftop of the bus was in glass which allowed the outside into the... More

we travelled to Milford Sound on a Milford Select bus in January 2012, and took options to take in the glacier flight and the return flight to Queenstown. The driver was awesome he knew so much about the area, including the history and the effort to maintain Milford sound and surrounds in the pristine condition. The best part was the... More

I would say we were a little disappointed when we saw that the coach was not the one in the website with glass roof. We were blessed with excellent weather on the day and the tour guide/driver was excellent. He was friendly, informative and helpful, often offered to take photographs for others during the stops. We pre-purchased a picnic lunch... More

We had an amazing trip to Milford Sound today. The weather was great and the guide from Milford Sound Select, Lester, is the best guide you can have for this trip. The whole way from Queenstown to Milford Sound he presented the landscape and wildlife with interesting stories in a funny and relaxing way. The boat cruiz in Milford Sound... More

Thankyou so much, The travel to Milford Sound was great. Comfortable and the stops along the way would not have been found by us driving on our own. The tunnel to Milford is only one vehicle wide so would not try it in our own vehicle that is for sure. Thanks for a great commentary. More

This trip was enjoyable because the driver was informative, the cruise was lovely and the service was great. Unfortunately, we didn't get to fly back because of the non-stop snow so that was disappointing but I asked for a refund for that portion of the trip and was refunded within a couple of days. The trip itself is spectacular, The... More

It all first started when I'm browsing for the cheapest coach-cruise-coach to Milford Sound. I then found Milford Sound Select (MSS)'s website, and at that time, there's an online offer of $149 per person. During online booking, I found out that my apartment was not listed in the pick-up point. So I gave them a call at about 12am but... More

I got cancelled on the day that I supposed to do the trip because of the bad weather. And I booked the ticket online a week before the trip, and they take 100% payment straight away from my credit card (not just as guarantee of my booking) which value for $2.550 (because it was 5 of us, and each person...
