We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise through the Milford sounds aboard your ferry, it was so easy getting our boarding pass and boarding the boat, we stood at the front so got great views, we also enjoyed the commentre, it was very informative and great humour to go along with it. The captain tried her best to get the weather to provide us with some rain for the waterfalls but alas it stayed beautiful and fine which was ok. We didn't have the optional lunch but saw people enjoying there and it looked quite good. Thanks for looking after us for the afternoon.

The ship was the biggest and most modern among other alternatives in the harbor. The mains spots during the cruise were very well narrated over the ship's loudspeakers, making the outstanding experience even better!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the flight and cruise experience. The pilot (Paul) explained things well and so did the cruise crew. Very friendly staff. Everything went like clockwork.

I cannot fault the cruise itself but i must say something about the staff of Southern Discoveries who i found slightly unprofessional. The cruise timings were changed from 12:45 pm to 1:30 pm WITHOUT any confirmation or email or text. And we drove 4 hrs to reach there. And they had no explanation for why the timings were changed. They just kept looking at my face like brainless stupid monkeys! Lol. They just kept saying 'Ahh' or 'umm' or 'yeah'. But the cruise otherwise was great. No doubt on this one!!

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!

Mitre Peak: Admire the distinctive peak rising sharply from the water, a signature landmark of Milford Sound and a favorite for photographers.
