Mindful Milford
We loved our 9 am excursion out into the Milford fiord. The morning was calm and moody with wisps of cloud garnishing the peaks and stunning falls of water down many rock faces. The boat ride was well executed and the commentator had interesting facts to share of the area and its history. Recommend this experience 100%.

Thanks Mum and Dad!
My parents gave my boyfriend and I the Earnslaw and BBQ experience as a Christmas gift and we used it over the Easter holidays. What an awesome experience! We loved the whole thing - The Earnslaw is a Queenstown icon and then Walter Peak and the BBQ were among the best things we have ever done. The food, homestead and views were amazing. Thanks Mum and Dad! Thanks Real NZ!

Fantastic view, just too short for the trip
Fantastic view of Milford Sound, just too short for the trip. Booked for 2hours trip, but finished in 1hour and 20mins.
