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.

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

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

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.

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 the highlight of our trip!! Spending the day looking at scenery that doesn't even look real!! This is a do not miss! I recommend doing the smaller vessels over the bigger boats. The only thing to be aware of is the company Head Out who was in control of getting our bus to location was not on top of things. They told us to be at the bus stop at 6:30-6:45 and it was not the right time. It wasn't supposed to be till 7:30. They also told us there would only be 15 people on the boat and it really had about 50. The driver (Neville) from Altitude was GREAT! Very informative!! The boat Miter was also great! So just don't use head out to book this trip. Be sure and do it though! Worth the long drive!!!
