The Cruize Milford Express is a very special small group product departing daily from Te Anau. It's a great way to take the family to Milford Sound without the stress of large crowds.  The Express departs daily from Te Anau at 8.15am.  The comfortable coach has a maximum of 17 seats per day and makes this the ultimate personalised tour. We express you into Milford Sound to link up with Cruize Milford’s 11.15am sailing.  This is the optimum time on the Sound since the larger tourist crowds will not arrive until lunch time and we can give you a more up-close and personal experience on our vessel. The journey back to Te Anau will be the perfect finish for the day. Your driver will select the best picture stops along the Milford Sound Highway.  By that time the large crowds will be in Milford Sound and everyone can enjoy the serenity of the Fiordland National Park.
