Cruize from $55 with Cruize Milford

Self Drive

A self drive Milford Sound experience combined with an un-crowded cruise of the fiord aboard the Milford Adventurer, will undoubtedly be one of your more memorable days in New Zealand.

Self drive to Milford Sound

Things to remember:
  • Make sure your vehicle is filled with petrol prior to leaving Te Anau. Milford Sound's petrol supply is not always reliable.
  • Ensure your camera is fully loaded with film or has plenty of shots left - photo opportunities along the way are plentiful.
  • Homer Tunnel - allow for a 15 minute delay at the tunnel's traffic lights.

If you choose to drive, you'll enjoy a Milford Sound sightseeing tour where you're in complete command of all your stops and starts. Allow plenty of time for photo opportunities, rest stops and the breath taking scenery.

Non-stop driving times

  • Queenstown to Te Anau: 185 kilometres (approx. 2 hours)
  • Te Anau to Milford Sound: 121 kilometres (approx. 2 hours)


sightseeing tour by road

After leaving Te Anau, State Highway 94 travels up the eastern side of Lake Te Anau along the lateral moraine left behind after the retreat of the glaciers at the end of the last ice age. Great views can be had looking towards the west across Lake Te Anau and up its arms deep into the Fiordland mountains.... read more
