    I loved the relaxed pace and that there was plenty of time to take in the sights. The commentary was interesting and helped me understand and appreciate what I was seeing.

    Its Magical Experience. We had an opportunity to have 2 different weather conditions (Rainy and Sunny) at same time so its one of the most rare scenarios. Nevertheless its beautiful whenever you visit. A must place to visit if travelling to South Island -NZ.

    One of the most amazing experiences!! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and wanted to do something adventurous but also not take up the full day. The fly cruise fly was the perfect ~4 hour excursion to see the milford sound, and all of queenstown. Our pilot Ryan was so kind and a fantastic pilot. The flight time was about 40 minutes there, then a scenic ~1.5 hour cruise through the Milford Sound followed by a 40 minute flight back. We had beautiful weather. Would recommend wearing a light coat and sunglasses :)

    We had a fantastic young team consisting of a tour guide and bus driver. They told us a lot of interesting things, and their planning and organization were perfect.

    Jeremy did a great job with the driving and commentary. Cruise was great as was the packed lunch. We lucked out with the weather and ALMOST got a shot of Mitre Peak!

    Tour is well worth it. Beware around the taxi pickup at hotel as this is not accurate. Part of the reason we went with the booking was due to this element and then we had to make our way downtown to meet at the partner's visitor centre.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I joined the Milford Sound trip as a solo traveler, along with a small group of other people, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Danny was an incredible guide from start to finish. The drive felt peaceful and surreal thanks to his thoughtfully chosen playlist — it honestly made me feel like I was in a completely different place. Danny’s storytelling and knowledge made the journey so engaging, and he shared interesting facts the entire way. One special highlight was when he pointed out a kea bird, something I would have completely missed on my own. I highly recommend this trip, especially if Danny is your guide. He made the journey to Milford Sound just as meaningful as the destination itself.
