A phenomenal tour, everything was very well organized and completely stress-free, and the driver was magnificent. That gentleman is phenomenal: he drives, organizes, and gives very clear explanations about both the places we visited and the logistics. During the trip we saw spectacular views, and the driver stopped at strategic spots. And the cruise, what can I say, an absolute must-see, truly phenomenal.

Great day on the cruise , good English commentary of the sound formation and history of discovery. Seeing the penguin s leaving the nesting area and seals lazing in the sun in the rocks just made the day . The drive into Milford Sound is also spectacular in scenery with Keas at several of the stops keeping tourists entertained Would recommend to anyone interested in the great outdoors

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.

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.

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.

This was the highlight of our trip!! Spending the day looking at scenery that doesn't even look real!! This is a do not miss! I recommend doing the smaller vessels over the bigger boats. The only thing to be aware of is the company Head Out who was in control of getting our bus to location was not on top of things. They told us to be at the bus stop at 6:30-6:45 and it was not the right time. It wasn't supposed to be till 7:30. They also told us there would only be 15 people on the boat and it really had about 50. The driver (Neville) from Altitude was GREAT! Very informative!! The boat Miter was also great! So just don't use head out to book this trip. Be sure and do it though! Worth the long drive!!!
