Awesome

Indescribable. When we started the cruise it was misty and then the clouds started disappearing. The cruise goes between mountains and you can see so many waterfalls on the way through. Highly recommend this.

Fantastic Experience

My family was so happy and enjoyed lot. The guide was giving good explanations. i.e very good narration. So exited when we were near Stirling falls (spray on our face).

One Yank Down Under

My wife is American and she was so impressed with the entire experience. Loved being able to have all the family there and could not get over how beautiful the wilderness, waterfalls and scenery was. Reminded her of some of the wilderness around the Rockies. Minus a star as there was limited allowances for children (although the children loved the experience too!). Add in a kids menu and hot chocolate for the urchins :o) My father loved the scenery but grumbled about 'class segregation' and 'Apartheid' due to separated seating on board.

Would not repeat with them

Don't go with this company if you are not travelling with a tour operator. They book table and seats just for big operator and that's mean no windows free for you. And beside that , the boat is to big to go near the cascades and I would have preferred going with a smaller one if I would have known it.

Milford Sound Scenic Cruise

The cruise itself is an experience on its own considering the scenery that one will see throughout the cruise. I think the problem that would most likely be encountered by travelers is choosing the type of cruise. It's a bit of confusing and does not really offer enough information to allow the travelers to choose wisely. For example, in our cruise, apparently there is a lunch buffet option, however, when we were booking it, only the picnic lunch option appeared.
