Your expert’s note
Milford Sound is roughly a 5-6hr drive from Queenstown (about 3hrs from Te Anau) each way, so a self-drive day trip means 10+ hours on the road for a 2hr cruise; RealNZ suggests flying to save travel time, or overnighting in Te Anau to break up the journey instead of a rushed round trip.
