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.

This tour definitely exposes you to the unique landscapes of New Zealand! You get to experience both the north and south Islands which was great. I did this trip solo and it was very well planned and designed for a solo traveler. Keep in mind that some of the day tours can be a full day (around 12 hrs) so sometimes not much other free time. I do wish I had some more free time in Queenstown, but I still got to see a lot on the free day there. Unfortunately weather did not cooperate for a couple of the days, so be ready to have a plan B if it rains or one of your tours gets cancelled. Otherwise, well planned itinerary. You definitely pack a lot in to the 10 days you are in New Zealand. If you are a nature lover like me, this will be a great tour to book since you can see all the beautiful scenery of this beautiful country.
NEW ZEALAND – 10 Days Highlights of North and South Islands5-star trip! The itinerary is excellent and very well planned with different activities for everyone. The guide has extensive knowledge of New Zealand, including places to eat or drink in the different towns, and also knows the history of the places. I highly recommend it.
