Milford Sound Tours & Trips
Imagine landing in Queenstown, where the lake sits beneath sharp peaks and adventure seems to hover in the air. The road toward Milford Sound cuts through Fiordland’s deep valleys before opening onto dark, still water and sheer cliffs. Up the coast, Franz Josef Glacier brings a colder, alpine feel, with icy trails and helicopter flights over the ice. This is a simply stunning place.

I did the NZ 17 day tour of North and South Island and it was honestly immense! You get to see all the major sites and have flexibility to add on activities if you want to (would really recommend the white water rafting in North Island and the stargazing in South!) To get around NZ you really need a car, so to have all the travel planned out for us made everything so easy, and stress free! Niamh was our tour guide and honestly she was amazing, literally the best especially when things went a little wrong in North island with the weather on our way to Wellington! 10/10 she’s a legend, if you’re thinking of booking this tour do it !
NZ Adventure 17 DayHad an incredible time with Sean on the 17 day intro to NZ. The trip was so well organised, with loads of extra activities thrown in that made it unforgettable, and Sean knew so much about the places we visited and culture. Also received some really great help with onward travel and working holiday info. Would do this trip again in a heartbeat.
NZ Intro 17 DayI didn't realise the days would be so much sitting in coaches. Maybe instead of free days we could move closer to a destination, have half free and a shorter travel next day.
