sharonbear Posted April 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I was wondering if anyone has taken the Queenstown Overnight- Milford Sound tour off of The Solstice? It is very expensive - $585.75 per person. Was wondering if it's worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted April 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2015 You'll certainly see some stunning scenery on that excursion. The drive from Dunedin to Queenstown is very pretty and Queenstown is gorgeous, as is Arrowtown. Gibbston Valley make great wines. A trip on the steamship Earnslaw is always great fun and I'm sure the Walter Peak dinner will be good. The Queenstown hotel looks very nice but be aware it is located about a 20-25 minute walk from the main township, with an uphill climb when walking back to the hotel. The drive to Te Anau is also very pretty and from there into Milford Sound it is just spectacular. However the excursion is very pricey. If you have limited time on your vacation it would be a good way to see some of NZ's best scenery if you can fit the cost into your budget.

Globaliser Posted April 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I think there may also be some relevant discussion in these threads:- Dunedin-Nature Wonders/Albatross Colony or Land Tour to Milford Sound?? Milford Sound/Dunedin, New Zealand Overnight Queenstown or Not? Fiordland Shore Excursion...thoughts? Is it worth $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootman4U Posted October 5, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I find it interesting that one responder knows exactly which hotel is going to be used. There is nothing on the Celebrity website naming a specific hotel for this excursion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
