Travel to Milford Sound from Queenstown or Te Anau in a small group of just 12 guests, journeying through Fiordland in a glass-roof Mercedes Sprinter with leather seats and room to spread out. The smaller group means a relaxed pace, easy conversation with your driver-guide, and time to stop and take in the scenery along the Milford Road. Onboard Wi-Fi, USB and USB-C charging, and a refillable chilled water dispenser keep the journey comfortable. On the water, enjoy the company's Discover More Cruise, the longest Milford Sound cruise, with up to 2 hrs 15 mins on the fiord. An onboard Nature Guide shares stories of the wildlife and the landscapes, with chances to see fur seals, dolphins and penguins. Depart from Queenstown on a seamless, full-day Milford Sound experience.
