Milford Sound bus and wilderness cruise.

This was a comfortable, relaxing way to journey into Milford Sound. The driver (Stan the Man) was informative and entertaining, plus a very skilled driver on the treacherous roads and conditions, felt very safe in the modern, comfortable coach. Boat crew were welcoming and the vessel was spotless and roomy. Thank you for the best experience:)

Best tour experience we have had

We had such an amazing experience on this tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our bus tour guide Vaughan!! He was extremely knowledgeable and spent a lot of the bus ride telling us the history of all the different areas! He stopped at some really amazing places along the way for photos & we even did an extra stop at a petting farm on the way back! I would highly recommend this tour with southern discoveries & to request to book with Vaughan as your tour guide!! The Milford sound experience was something we will never forget!
