Stunning scenic cruise with a professional company

Professional crew made our trip one to remember. We struck a day with amazing weather, sunshine, no wind and no rain. Commentary on the boat by a young lady was very good, clearly she knew her stuff. Despite no rain we still were able to see a number of waterfalls and get up close and wet from one. A beautiful location to see in the comfort of the good weather. Even the Tasman was calm for us. The cruise started around 15 minutes late but the crew were very helpful in contacting our next activity to advise them of this slight delay. I would highly recommend this tour and company.

I did a return coach and cruise tour from Queenstown to Milford Sound, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The true highlight of the day was the drive itself. The scenery along the way is unreal, and the journey through Fiordland is something you have to see to believe. We had plenty of photo stops at beautiful locations, which made the long trip feel enjoyable rather than tiring. A special mention to our driver “Vaughan” — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and informative throughout the trip. The commentary added so much value and made the landscapes even more interesting as we understood what we were seeing. The cruise in Milford Sound was lovely and well organized. Being out on the water surrounded by towering cliffs and waterfalls was unforgettable. This tour is well run, comfortable, and truly one of the best experiences you can have in New Zealand. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Queenstown.
Amazing tour! Highly recommend

We had a wonderful experience on this tour. The bus tour guide Vaughan was exceptional. Lots of knowledge and history about all the different areas was shared with us along the way, lots of stops prior to getting to Milford sound to take pictures. He was so friendly and was probably one of the best bus tours we have been on thanks to Vaughan! The boat tour went for quite a while and we saw some amazing beauty of the Milford Fiords!! We were even lucky enough to see some dolphins and tuna fish jumping out the water. Beautiful day and beautiful tour with southern discoveries. I would highly recommend

The Southern Discoveries Milford Sound tour was absolutely extraordinary. The views are breathtaking, the cruise itself is truly wonderful, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. 🌊✨ We were lucky enough to see dolphins, which made the tour even more special. The entire staff was incredibly kind, professional, and punctual, making everything seamless from start to finish. If you’re visiting New Zealand, this tour is an absolute must — an unforgettable experience you should not miss.

Had a really great experience with Southern Discoveries on the Spirit of Milford cruise (10:30 AM trip on 02/02/2026). It was such a fresh and memorable way to see the beauty of Milford Sound — absolutely stunning! The trip started right on time, so definitely recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early. There’s about a 15–20 minute walk to the check-in area, and parking machines can get busy, so getting there early makes things much easier. Staff were super friendly both at reception and on the cruise. The captain did a great job explaining everything clearly and guiding us to the best spots — really helpful, especially for international visitors like us. The crew were also lovely and even helped us take some nice family photos. Overall, a smooth, enjoyable trip and highly recommended if you’re visiting Milford Sound 👍

Part of overall New Zealand tour with another company. Got up early to catch 7:30am bus to Milford Sound along with rest of tour group. Bus had stopped for a couple of additional pickups; with a couple of vantage points and toilet breaks along the way, boarded boat for 1:15pm departure which included buffet lunch. As crowds board the boat, all are queued up for buffet in chaos. Food is poor as expected with such focus on high volume. There are boxed lunches available, perhaps a better choice. Dinning, food, restroom areas cleanliness average. The Sound pales in comparison with Norwegian fjords with a few waterfalls. Cruise time is 2 hrs only. Elected to fly back instead of enduring 4hr bus ride. The flight is highly recommended with returning to Queenstown in only 45min which included a bit of flight seeing by the pilot.

A long day trip not to be missed - well worth the fare. Awesome scenery around every corner between Lake Te Anau through the Homer Tunnel down into Milford Sound. Capped off with the 2 hour cruise out to the Tasman Sea opening seeing spectacular waterfalls and a NZ fur seal if youre lucky basking in the sun. Vaughan , our fantastic coach driver , provided interesting commentary -friendly banter and some laughs. You felt safe in his capable hands along roads which needed his professional attention. Highly recommend him. Vaughan helped make it a very memorable day.

We were booked with another cruise originally but ended up doing our actual tour with Southern Discoveries day-of. The tour guide was great and so was the captain, the experience was amazing itself and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Something that everyone should do in their lifetime.
