We travelled on Milford Sound with the Real Journeys Nature Cruise. It was awesome. Great commentary, friendly staff, lovely boat and free hot drinks. But the scenery was the top attraction. Thanks Real Journeys more

Did the Milford Sound bus & cruise tour with 'Real Journeys' from Queenstown. Be prepared if going by bus as it's a 5 hour journey there and 5 hr's return. Stay at Te Anau overnight to break journey if you can, as it's a very pretty spot on the lakefront and there's plenty of accommodation. It just shortens the journey.... more

Toured Milford sound by ship with Holland america Line. It was cloudy and foggy but the scenery was fabulous. The many waterfalls and the mountains plunging directly into the sound was unlike any other scenery I had ever seen. pr stewart more

When I was travelling with friends 4 weeks through New Zealand we also stopped by at Milford Sound. If you are ever in the area take part in a morning canoe paddling tour through the sound, you will most likely encounter otters and dolphins. It was just amazing! ;) more

Milford Sound was one of the most beautiful places we had ever been. We had arrived in Queenstown from New York and only had one day to make the trip to Milford Sound as the following day was Christmas and nothing was open. We had decided on real journeys and opted to take the bus, nature cruise and fly home.... more

Milford Sound and the drive there rank as some of the best scenery I saw in New Zealand. The road there has breathtaking views of mountains and snow, but take care as it has the sharpest bends i've seen on any roads and has a high accident rate and high risk of injury if involved in an accident.
