A memorable experience in the most spectacular area of the South Island in New Zealand.

Rain, hail or shine - the Milford Sound is one of spectacular beauty. This South Island tour will take you on an incredible journey through the Fiordland National Park on a luxury coach, followed by a cruise on the picturesque Milford Sound. You will see luxuriant rainforest cling to sheer rock walls and waterfalls tumbling hundreds of metres to the sea below.

Relive the elegance of turn-of-the-century travel with a cruise on board the vintage steamship TSS Earnslaw, the only coal fired passenger carrying vessel still operating in the southern hemisphere. TSS Earnslaw cruises Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm. This is a wonderful cruise and an excellent way to enjoy the spectacular views of Cecil and Walter Peaks and the western shores of Lake Wakatipu on the South Island of New Zealand.
