We travelled on the Pure Milford catamaran. We absolutely enjoyed it, the scenery and the seals were a thrill to see. Of course, the staff members were amazing and friendly.

We had a fantastic young team consisting of a tour guide and bus driver. They told us a lot of interesting things, and their planning and organization were perfect.
