Queenstown / Milford Sound
Coach & Flight Connections
The journey to Milford from Queenstown is magnificent. The Milford Road
(between Te Anau and Milford) is New Zealand’s remotest highway providing
access to spectacular mountain valleys. The alpine views are breathtaking
and a highlight of any visit to Milford Sound.
Real Journeys provides luxury coach and flight connections
to our Milford Sound Daytime Cruises.
Coach Connections
Experience one of the world’s finest alpine drives.
Combine a Scenic or Nature Daytime
Cruise of Milford Sound with a drive over spectacular alpine roads
in one of our glass roof coaches specially designed for your viewing comfort.
Our drivers enjoy sharing their knowledge of the area and there is plenty
of time for photo stops and short walks along the way.
The road to Milford Sound, through Fiordland National Park, offers exceptional
viewing opportunities with dense rainforest, towering mountains, glacial lakes
and (near Homer Tunnel) avalanche debris and alpine herb fields.
Coach Specifications:
- Luxury Volvo coaches (45 seater), with reclining seats and air-conditioning,
purpose built for the Milford Road
- Seven coaches feature glass roofs for spectacular viewing, and the latest
of these also have sloping floors and angled seating to enhance viewing comfort.
- Doors at the front and mid-way along the coach, enable more efficient passenger
loading.

Flight Connections
Hanging valleys, alpine lakes and cloud-piercing summits hidden from the road
are just some of the reasons why flying between Queenstown and Milford is an
excursion of a lifetime!
You can fly both ways to join our Milford Sound Daytime
Cruises or
if you prefer, fly back to Queenstown after taking a luxury coach journey to
Milford. Fly back options available with all daytime and overnight cruises
(weather permitting).
Plane Specifications:
- 6 Britten Norman Islander aircraft (twin-engined, 9 seater).
- 1 Cessna 206 aircraft (single-engined, 6 seater)
(NB:
Additional aircraft are subcontracted as required.)
