Steve our driver was courteous, informative, funny and a good driver. He got us to the boat right on time with beautiful stops along the way, providing a boxed lunch upon arrival. The captain of the Adventurer was a great pilot spotting penguins, seals and dolphins for us to see. He got in close to the beautiful waterfalls for great photo opportunities.

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.

The day ran extremely smoothly and was very well organised with very little waiting time between the boat across teh lake, the bus and then the boat on Doubtful Sound. Same applied for the return trip. Doubtful Sound is beautiful and although it maybe not quite as dramatic as Milford Sound, it certainly makes up for it for being a lot more quieter, we were the only boat on the day we went. We loved the part when they turn the motors off and ask everyone to enjoy the silence. The food and drinks on board were very good and reasonably priced. Commentary was great on each of the three legs of our journey. A thoughly enjoyable day and highluy recommended for those that want to get away from the croiwds of Milford Sound.

Easy to book. Simple to use. Was one of the only places I managed to find a Milford cruise at the last moment. Was a good experience.

**An unforgettable experience!** What an absolutely incredible experience. This was the first time either of us had ever been in a helicopter, and also the first time we had ever actually touched snow, so it was a pretty special moment for us\. Jono was fantastic , friendly, professional and made us feel completely comfortable from the moment we took off. Flying over the breathtaking Queenstown scenery and snow\-capped mountains was something we’ll never forget, but landing in the snow was definitely the highlight. Getting out of the helicopter, standing in the snow for the first time and taking in those amazing views was just magical. Such a memorable experience and easily one of the highlights of our Queenstown trip. A huge thank you to Jono for making our first helicopter flight and first snow experience so special. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it! 🚁❄️🏔️❤️
