We loved the cruise. The boat is spacious, with many options to choose among confortable seats to places outside, were we could enjoy the wonderful landscape. The crew is very helpful and attentive to our needs. Helped us seen details on the way, throughout the wonderful Mildford Sound. We definitely recommend it!!!

Great day on the cruise , good English commentary of the sound formation and history of discovery. Seeing the penguin s leaving the nesting area and seals lazing in the sun in the rocks just made the day . The drive into Milford Sound is also spectacular in scenery with Keas at several of the stops keeping tourists entertained Would recommend to anyone interested in the great outdoors

Beautiful cruise on Lake Wakatipu. Super smooth. The food was outstanding. Dessert was delicious, and the scenery was breathtaking.

My daughter loved exploring the Earnslaw. I was worried it would feel too busy but I found it the right amount of people. My favourite part was the highland coos

Do yourself favour and experience such an amazing place!! Weather seemed sketchy but being up there with clouds, and rain probably added to the experience.

This was a return visit for us after our honeymoon 15 years ago. The crew of the boat through to the tour guides were all friendly and knowledgeable. And the tour through the caves was a fun experience. We enjoyed it just as much a second time! There are stairs along the sturdy walkways, but it's an easy walk for most .. only two low spots that require ducking quite low, but nothing too arduous.

Truly amazing is the only way to describe the cruise. It was breathtaking from start to finish, I was recommended by a friend to take the small boat because of less people on board so you could get close to the side and he was right. Our crew were fantastic, very knowledgeable and very friendly happy to have a chat and answer questions along the way. The price of it was worth every dollar and can highly recommend it to anyone who is looking at doing it. This has been the highlight of my trip to NZ so far. The drive into Milford Sound was also spectacular.

The smaller boat felt like more like an adventure than a cruise. The slow trip up the sound allowed us to take in the eye-popping scenery. Loved the taste of the Tasman Sea. Then the dolphins, seals and then"glacial facial" on the return trip were amazing. The on-board commentary was just enough and let the Sound speak for herself. A NZ highlight for us.
