Small Group, Award Winning Milford Sound Experience Full Day from Te Anau

Highlights

  • Driving route takes in beautiful, remote places with photo and walk ops

  • Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch on board the boat

  • Small group ensures a personalized experience

Summary

Leave Te Anau on a road that follows Lake Te Anau toward Fiordland National Park, where you make the first stop of the day to snap some photos of beautiful Eglinton Valley. Since many Milford Sound tours continue straight to the fjord, you enjoy crowd-free views of the scenic places you pass en route, from the Homer Tunnel to the Hollyford River to Cleddau Valley. Upon arrival at Milford Sound, board a boat for a sightseeing cruise with soaring peaks and waterfalls on either side. Watch for native seals, penguins, and dolphins in the water—even whales can swim into this deep waterway. A picnic lunch, with a choice between chicken, beef or vegetarian, is served on the way to Milford Sound.
