Travel to Milford Sound from 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 Southern Discoveries' Discover More Cruise, our 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 Te Anau on a seamless, full-day Milford Sound experience.
