Great 12 hours experience! Awesome and entertaining driver/tour guide. Comfy and spacious coach and cruise experience as well.
Perfect weather for the day, I had opted for coach-cruise-coach, but the weather was so good and being a pilot, I was tempted to take the flight back, and it was such a good experience! Junior on the coach was quite informative on the history of New Zealand and was quite helpful in getting me a flight back as well! I managed to get the co-pilot seat for the departure out of Milford, and it was an experience of a lifetime! The cruise was good as well, and we managed to see the local Milford Sound dolphins as well! I would recommend not taking the meal option as the food wasn't that great but overall it was a really good experience!
Need more explanation and information on each stop also a bit longer time
The driver Pumba was great, very informative and thorough all the time… The buffet food on board was excellent… And the Milford Sound view was magical… Our family enjoyed the trip ❤️…

Day Trip to Milford
On a very drab and wet day had an amazing time. Coach driver Junior was fun and informative. Few stops on the way to take photos. Lovely buffet lunch onboard the Pride of Milford and then cruising and taking in the spectacular sights of the Sounds.
