Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Fiordland National Park (Te Wahipounamu), Fiordland National Park Visitor Centre, Te Anau, Fiordland National Park New Zealand
Take a journey through the Fiordland National Park, listening to informative narration about the stunning scenery (of coach option selected), and stop along the way to take photographs and do some short nature walks. Discover the optical illusion of the Avenue of Disappearing Mountains, which seem to sink into the surrounding beech forest. View Hollyford Valley and the Darran Mountains before entering the Homer Tunnel, and snap photos of majestic Mt Tutoko, Fiordland National Park’s highest and most glaciated peak.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Milford Sound, 9679, New Zealand
Step aboard the magnificent three deck Gem of the Sound, and enjoy a scenic cruise along spectacular Milford Sound. Admire towering mountains, vertical cliffs and hanging valleys. Feel the spray from the waterfalls that cascade from an ancient rainforest high in the mountains and look out for New Zealand fur seal colonies and occasionally dolphins swimming nearby.
Your 1 hour 30 minute cruise meanders past majestic Mitre Peak and as you navigate the length of Milford Sound to the Tasman Sea, let the scenery transport you back to a time of magical wilderness with its towering mountains, vertical cliffs and hanging valleys. Before your cruise takes you back to the bay, learn about the local flora and fauna and hear some fascinating history and Maori legends from your expert guide.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

This was the best tour I have ever been on! Although the coach ride was long, it was well worth it! The scenering through Fiordland Park was amazing. The driver was very informative and entertaining. The cruise in Milford Sound was stunning (jaw dropping).
