Milford Wanderer Overnight Cruise
   

Return coach transport from Queenstown to Milford Sound and overnight cruise on board the Milford Wanderer. On boarding a luxury Real Journeys coach in Queenstown, visitors enjoy a relaxing trip along the shores of Lake Wakatipu and through rolling countryside to Te Anau. The coach driver provides an informative commentary. Stopping in Te Anau, passengers may purchase lunch before the coach continues along the spectacular Milford Road. There is time for photo stops and short walks along the way.

Upon arrival, passengers board the Milford Wanderer for the overnight cruise.

   

The Milford Wanderer Overnight Cruise offers an exciting and different dinner, bed and breakfast experience. Departing from Milford Wharf, the Milford Wanderer cruises the full-length of Milford Sound to the Tasman Sea. At a leisurely pace the vessel explores points of interest and there is plenty of time available to view waterfalls, rainforest, mountains and wildlife with the experienced nature guide on board. After reaching the open sea, the vessel returns under sail (wind permitting), and anchors overnight in Harrison Cove. There are opportunities to go kayaking or to explore in the vessel’s tender craft.

   

A hearty evening meal is included and a fully licensed bar sells beer, wine and spirits. Accommodation is comfortable bunk style in quad-share compartments. Next morning, following a hearty cooked or continental breakfast, there is time for additional cruising before returning to the Milford Wharf. Suitable for most ages, except infants. Not suitable for wheelchair clients due to steep stairs.
