just back from Milford Sound Cruise, for me it is doesn't worth the money, given visited to Li Qiang and Halong Bay.
- you can see seal colony from Cape Foulwind, MSC give you much closer distance but still not close as you can touch them. to me no different
- the waterfall even yesterday had rain but not impressive as our lata kinjang waterfall
- basically the cruise scenery... hmmmmmmmm nothing much to say because it is just typical mountain view with trees and rock
I not recommend drive all the way just for the cruise, given grow worm cave you can see it elsewhere
i rather skip MSC in my itinerary
the scenic drive...... nothing much to see also, just the big land of grasses and the mirror lake (where you can get an awesome @ lake Matheson), dun waste the petrol and that 3hr driving, i rather choose to sleep @ coach
i rate mangrove river cruise @ langkawi better sightseeing than this MSC
if you still insist to
just MSC
i suggest take coach from Queenstown, the bus will stop at interest spot along the journey. you can have more rest time and save petrol money
MSC + growworm cave
suggest take MSC around 2pm, where you can drive from dunedin or some other place from 9am, overnight @ Te Anau, check out then go to grow worm cave
for those who interest to drive to Milford Sound, please spare extra 30mins,
- you need to walk 500m (which is 10mins) to the visitor centre (the port)
- almost at the last part of the road is all down slope + curve road, generally you're driving at 30 km/h only for like 15km

Milford Sound is often a hit or miss due to the weather condition there.Most of the nice picture taken there are usually during a clear day (or night) when the water is more calm.
But I do agree that on a normal day, the scenery is just..normal (maybe cause we are too used to see lake and mountain closeby ie. Phuket,Langkawi etc.)
I do find the drive especially the last part to be quite exciting though
btw, in the end did you take the campervan or car for your trip?

). If no, just take the 1 day tour from Queenstown will do.
