Sightseeing Cruises in Milford Sound

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.

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

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!

Excellent cruise, would definitely recommend to others. Gets you up close and personal with waterfalls, be prepared to get wet! The people talking you through the cruise are well informed and entertaining. Food available although I didn't eat. Seal spotted and we got a close look at that too. Fabulous morning out!

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.

One of the most wonderful days! The best scenery, wonderful people, and a lovely time all around. Well organized and lots of fun!

This was a great trip again by RealNZ. Bus pickup early from Te Anau meant we were in Milford Sound before the throngs arrived from QL. Really informative talk on board cruise and from bus driver en route, with some interesting photo stops en route. Good choice of food and snack on board cruise.

The cruise was amazing!! Everything from the staff, to the information, to the vessels and the weather (ok, we lucked out with that!) such a fantastic day that we will never forget! Genuinely felt that the commentary provided on both the bus and the boat were brilliant - history made fun!
