Milford Sound and Mt Cook Combo departing Queenstown
Two essential New Zealand destinations, one great price - visit both the spectacular Milford Sound and take in the wonders of the Mt Cook National Park.
What to expect
Pay a visit to two of New Zealand's most stunning areas - Milford Sound and the Mt Cook National Park - with this combined package and save over 25%! You'll get a double-dose of some of the most stunning parts of NZ's Fiordland region over the course of two marvellous days; the first of which will see you heading on a breathtaking journey into the heart of Milford Sound from Queenstown and witnessing the spectacle of this world-famous fiord firsthand. Combining road and water travel, you'll see the likes of the Eglinton Valley and Homer Tunnel, take a walk over The Chasm and see its cascading waterfalls, and much more.
Next you'll hop aboard a comfortable cruising vessel for a tour down the heart of Milford Sound itself - a location that is annually listed among the most beautiful on Earth. Sheer rock walls clash with pristine blue water and vibrant forests to make for a postcard-perfect destination.
On the second day, travel from Queenstown to the Mt Cook National Park - NZ's highest peak - and head through the rugged Kawarau River Gorge and into the high country landscape that New Zealand is famous for. Relax and enjoy a delicious three-course lunch (extra charge) while taking in the amazing views over the Mackenzie Basin before returning to Queenstown in the early evening.

Itinerary
- Take a scenic trip to Milford Sound and see the world-famous fiord in all its glory with a cruise on its immaculate waters.

- Milford Sound, board your 1 3/4 hour scenic cruise and explore the length of the fiord. View glacier-scarred rock walls, lush native forest and waterfalls that tumble through valleys and crash into the sea below, as well as the dramatic profile of Mitre Peak, rising out of the fiord to a height of 1,692 metres above sea level.

- Travel north, through the historic gold mining region of the rugged Kawarau River Gorge and past Cromwell, crossing the Lindis Pass and arriving at Omarama for morning tea (own expense).
- We continue through the rugged high country landscape of the Mackenzie Basin to Mount Cook Village, where you can gaze up at the 3,754 metre-high mountain Aoraki / Mount Cook, an important landmark in Māori mythology.

There is also the chance to take off on a scenic flight over snow-capped mountains and ancient glaciers (additional cost, weather permitting – this can be arranged with your driver/guide on the day).
