Itinerary
1
Te Anau
We stop in the beautiful township of Te Anau for an extended break of 30-mins. We stop at a lakefront cafe so you can get a coffee/snack, use the bathroom and explore the stunning lakefront with mountain views.
30 minutes
2
Eglinton Valley
Eglinton Valley offers a stunning contrast of green, native bush covered mountains, against the foreground of tan fields. Guests will have a chance to explore the long lush fields. Beautiful at any time of the year.
5 minutes
3
Mirror Lakes Walk
This short 2-minute nature walk on well formed tracks and boardwalks will have you at the tranquil Mirror Lakes, the backdrop of the Earl Mountains behind them. This is a challenge for any travelling photographer to capture the essence of the lakes - their mirror reflection.
15 minutes
4
Eglinton Valley
We stop further in the Eglinton Valley at Knobs Flat Camp to use the bathrooms. This stop is approximately 60mins from Te Anau, our previous bathroom break.
5 minutes
5
Hollyford Track
We stop at the Hollyford Lookout, sitting high above the Hollyford Valley. Here you will get an appreciation for the glaciers that carved out these valleys. A photo opportunity and a chance to stretch the legs.
5 minutes
6
Monkey Creek
Monkey Creek is a beautiful glacier fed waterfall/stream and is a common area to meet the Kea, a mountain parrot only found in the South Island of New Zealand. This is an opportunity to take a close up photo of these cheeky birds.
10 minutes
7
Homer Tunnel
We stop just outside the Homer Tunnel on the western side, overlooking the magnificent Cleddau Valley. Surrounded by step vertical mountain faces, you will look down the valley to our route into Milford Sound. One of the highlights of the day.
5 minutes
8
Milford Sound
Our destination for the tour is the beautiful Milford Sound, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We spend 2.5 hours in Milford Sound, mostly aboard your nature cruise where you will experience the entire fjord, wildlife encounters, waterfalls and all the scenic beauty there is to see.
3 hours and 30 minutes
9
Te Anau
We return to Queenstown, via the township of Te Anau (the only route back) and stop so you can pick up some dinner food and use the bathroom.
