Milford Sound Tours

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.

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.

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!

Exceptional views in the cruise and opportunity to feel the waterfalls with closer look. Fabulous explanation about each attraction on the go.

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.

Lovely stops on the way to Milford Sound. The guide was very informative. Nice packed lunch and free tasty coffee from the fully automatic machine.

An exceptional excursion to and around Milford, comfortable and in a small group. Our guide was very friendly, always attentive and available, and extremely knowledgeable about the region and the best places to discover. We loved this trip, thank you!

One of the most amazing experiences!! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and wanted to do something adventurous but also not take up the full day. The fly cruise fly was the perfect ~4 hour excursion to see the milford sound, and all of queenstown. Our pilot Ryan was so kind and a fantastic pilot. The flight time was about 40 minutes there, then a scenic ~1.5 hour cruise through the Milford Sound followed by a 40 minute flight back. We had beautiful weather. Would recommend wearing a light coat and sunglasses :)
