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!

The most breathtaking views ever! This is an amazing experience and it should not be missed. The cruise trip was such an unique experience and definitely one which though touristy, is NOT overrated. Cruise was on time, they served hot coffee, hot chocolate, tea on the cruise in a 2 hour ride. Captain's narration about Milford Sound was exceptional.

We travelled by bus from the Real NZ office in Queenstown. Our driver was very good and gave an informative and commical commentary during the drive. Food is available to order for your trip, but we chose to take our own. The organisation was very good, from the initial bus journey, intermediate boat transfer, bus again and connection to our main catamaran for the main trip return trip down Doubtful Sound went without a hitch. There was the stunning scenery, a stop to see the fur seals on an island at the mouth of the sound and an encounter with Bottle nosed Dolphins who gave us a lovely display around the boat during our return trip. Who could ask for more? The sun shone all day even during a couple of light showers. We were very lucky! The return journey was as easy as the first! I would thoughrly recommend this trip.
