The bus trip to Milford, although it was long it gave a wonderful insight into the splendour of the West coast and Southlands Beauty. The cruise through the sound was similarly entriguing and enjoyable. the days event was priceless, and we were most fortunate to experiance perfect, sunny New Zealand weather. Very much worth the experience.

The place was incredibly beautiful, it was almost surreal! The boat was a smaller one which was great as it wasn't crowded unlike the other larger boats. The boat captain was a real sport too as he took us really close to a couple of waterfalls. Overall, I could not recomend this cruise more!

The Milford Sound Day Trip with Cruise was an unforgettable experience for me and my family. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the entire journey felt smooth, comfortable, and well organised. Our dependable driver, Brian, made the trip even better — expertly navigating the challenging roads while sharing interesting, relevant stories about the places we passed. We also appreciated how he confidently handled a few noisy passengers so everyone could enjoy the commentary. It was a relaxing, memorable day, and we will happily recommend this tour to our friends.
