Incredible amount of food and choices. Well displayed and staff helpful. Captain's commentary insightful. A busy boat but lots of room to sit or lookout and take in views.

The most perfect day, the staff were welcoming. The pianist created a wonderful ambience. The scenery and lunch at Walter Peak, followed with the farm show just perfect. Walter Peak is a beautiful place, the buffet had a large assortment of food. Our waitress was from Japan, she was wonderful.

Loved the captain's commentary! Gave me a few good chuckles and provided lots of interesting facts about the area. Can only recommend it :)

The scenery was absolutely spectacular, loved the excellent commentary, and got sprayed by the waterfall, so I look 10 years younger! :) Free hot chocolate also hit the spot!

There are lots and lots of boats running every 10 minutes practically. They all do the same thing, same route as far I could tell. There are massive boats that hold 300+ people. This company have a small boat, we at times got really close to the cliffs for a close up of the seals or water fall. I don't think the bigger boats can do that. We were not over crowded and tea and coffee, hot chocolate was provided. We went on a dry sunny day and it was cold, but we were on the top level on the outside of the boat. The inside was warm. The best view on the boat is the front but you do get wet, so wear lots of layers and a raincoat and your set. The only thing I would have wanted more is rain, apparently if you go on a rainy day it's stunning.

This was a great trip again by RealNZ. Bus pickup early from Te Anau meant we were in Milford Sound before the throngs arrived from QL. Really informative talk on board cruise and from bus driver en route, with some interesting photo stops en route. Good choice of food and snack on board cruise.

The cruise was amazing!! Everything from the staff, to the information, to the vessels and the weather (ok, we lucked out with that!) such a fantastic day that we will never forget! Genuinely felt that the commentary provided on both the bus and the boat were brilliant - history made fun!
