    Departing Queenstown. Departing from Queenstown at approximately 7:00 am, you’ll enjoy complimentary pick-up and drop-off from your accommodation in custom-built, glass-roof Mercedes vehicles designed for premium long-distance touring and sightseeing.

    With high panoramic windows and bespoke custom seating, you’ll travel in a small group of no more than 15 passengers, ensuring a personalised journey hosted by an experienced professional guide. Expect exceptional service and added amenities designed for your comfort and care.

    The Journey to Milford Sound . Along the famous Milford Sound Road through the UNESCO-listed Fiordland National Park, enjoy a series of carefully selected scenic stops after a peaceful morning tea at a private location in Lake Te Anau. This experience offers a more exclusive, intimate and relaxed way to experience this iconic route, away from any crowds. Your journey then leads into the ‘eighth wonder of the world’ — Piopiotahi, Milford Sound.

    Upon arrival to Milford Sound, you’ll bypass the passenger terminal and step aboard a high-end, bespoke cruise designed exclusively for the Milford Class experience—the Real NZ Sinbad vessel. Enjoy a complimentary glass of local sparkling wine as you settle into this luxury vessel, featuring bespoke touches and spacious seating.

    Milford Sound Cruise . As you cruise through the stunning fiord, indulge in a selection of locally inspired culinary delights, with Māori cultural influences thoughtfully woven throughout.

    Expect elevated service and attentive hosts throughout your experience. A knowledgeable nature guide will share insightful commentary and stories about Piopiotahi Milford Sound, helping you spot local wildlife amidst the breathtaking and dramatic scenery.

    Returning to Queenstown – via Road, Helicopter or Plane. Once your cruise concludes, choose the return journey that best suits your style. You can continue your adventure by returning to Queenstown in our luxurious business-class touring vans, offering the same elevated comfort that made the journey in so memorable.

    For a new perspective, upgrade to a scenic fixed-wing flight, a helicopter transfer high above Fiordland’s dramatic landscapes for an unforgettable aerial view. Or, indulge in our exclusive extended helicopter experience, available only to Business Class guests, with a beach and glacoer or mountain landing and complimentary Champagne.

    While taking to the skies offers breathtaking views and unmatched convenience, travelling the Milford Road is an essential part of the journey. With multiple hand-picked stops and hidden scenic gems along the way, this route reveals sights you simply can’t experience from the air. Likewise, cruising the fiord remains the only way to access Milford’s remote waterfalls and hidden coves—getting you up close with the raw beauty of Piopiotahi.

    Altitude Tours and Real NZ are committed to elevating your Milford Sound experience with Milford Sound Business Class.
