We had originally booked a 1h15min flight over Milford Sound, but got rescheduled for a tour including one 30 minutes flight from Te Anau to Milford Sound (with landing) followed by a 45 min flight from Milford Sound over Doubtful Sound and back to Te Anau. That was even better than expected because we got to see almost half of the Fiordland! The weather was great and the pilot was giving instructive details about the sceneries along the way. Great experience and lovely staff.

Long coach trip but very informative and well worth it.

We were lucky to be there at a quiet time for tourists, professional cruise, great commentary, nice staff, amazing views and the captain takes you right up under some water falls and to see the special locations. We saw some fur seals at seal rock very close up, just amazing, would do it again!

This is a must do, I loved every minute of it skipper of the boat was so kind a lovely too. Everything was amazing

We loved every minute of this trip. The skipper was so knowledgable and also so funny too. We loved having the opportunity to see the wildlife and he was also so respectful of it too. Would love to do it again

Absolutely amazing way to experience lake Te Anau. George and Adam were very dapper in their outfits, very welcoming hosts and made our trip a very special birthday celebration. Thank you

Wonderful trip highly recommended!

From when I booked the customer service was excellent, keeping me informed along the way. The flight was terrific and the pilot Michael was very informative and professional. Great flight and can recommend!

For an engineer like me I was amazed at the walkway construction inside the caves. I would have loved to have seen a video of its construction. And installation. What a job. The Glow worm description talk was so interesting Est (Est)and informative. We loved the trip on the way to the caves. A real highlight of our South Island tour.

Very good hospitality. Good food, good view, nice walking track. I learn more about Te Anau from this tour. Fantastic 3 hr. If you have time u should do it.

Thanks George and Max. Thoroughly enjoyable time we had. The Forest walk is stunning. Highly recommended.

My partner and I went on the Exploration Cruise and we couldn't have enjoyed it more! Everything is five stars: the hospitality, the food and drinks, the walk through the beautiful Fiordland National Park, and the overall experience. We absolutely loved it and we can't wait to come back. Thank you so much George and Adam!

An experience that we will always fondly remember. The hospitality and knowledge of the crew are second to none.

What a beautiful day and best experience to share with my children. Peter was absolutely amazing. Thank you 😊

This experience was amazing. Really comfi couch for just 10 people. Steven, driver guy was really really nice and he was giving us a lot of information about everything. Every stop on the Road was perfect. The food was good, just a little bit spicy for me but ice cream fixed it. I recommend this experience.

Thank you very much for a gorgeous day. Stephen our driver was very friendly, polite, helpful and knowledgeable. We will recommend your company to our friends.???

Absolutely amazing experience ! Great deal for such a nice trip! Definitely Recommend VIP sound Milford cruise ! 5 stars!!

I am really grateful that the tour was set up even there was only 2 guests on the van. That was a beautiful sunny day when we were in Milford Sound, so lucky. The sceneries with waterfalls, mountains, creeks, and the snow left me a deep impression, so as the excellent introduction and guidance given by our tour guide Justine. The cruise started early enough so there was not crowded at all in the ship. Strongly recommended. Thank you!

excellent service and it is one of the highlight of our trip

It was really nice :)

Awesome transport! Leather seats and very comfortable. we had such a small group too. Our driver was really nice and you could tell that he is passionate. We had plenty of stops and no rush really. The boat was small so it did feel that you are too close to the waterfalls - which was awesome! The commentator on the boat was great as well. It was an awesome experience!

Great host, comfortable bus trip, beautiful scenery and that all before you even get to the boat. Once on the Real Journeys cruise the Milford Sounds scenic cruise was everything we could have dreamed of. Even with rain and wind was such a breathtaking trip. Loved every moment. Would go back again and again. A must do for visitors and locals like. A+++++ ❤️

We were so glad that we had booked with VIP Milford!!! Mark, our guide and driver, was absolutely fantastic. There was a delay on the road because of snow conditions. Guess what? Mark took us to some "bonus" areas with wonderful scenaries before resuming to our drive to Milford Sound. The cruise was excellent. The buffet lunch was nice (and well coordinated). We would recommend VIP Milford again. Many thanks for our wonderful memories of New Zealand (particularly Milford Sound). Minh, Belinda, Alexander and Isaac.

What an incredible day, from the moment our driver Mark picked us up from our accommodation till the moment we were dropped back home his friendliness, professionalism and local knowledge was a pleasure to be around. The small tour size allowed for many stops along the way to Milford Sounds, unloading and reloading was a breeeze and not once did we feel we had to wait for the prime spot to take photos or wait in lines to board like you would in a regular coach. Milford Sounds from the boat was incredible but much to our surprise the scenery on the journey there was the even more spectacular. After finishing our day with Milford VIP we knew we had received the best experience Milford Sounds has to offer, I would highly recommend them to everyone. You will not be disappointed!

The best way to do it!! We had all the stops to our selves as your set off before the influx of Queenstown coaches. great local knowledge and the best stops along the way. Highly recommend.

Dave was a friendly and knowledgeable driver, very comfortable van and the cruise was fantastic!

Fantastic from start to finish. Mark our driver was knowledgable informative and considerate. Would definitely recommend.

The whole family had an awesome day. The vip tour is the best way to get the most out of your trip. Our Driver Rhys was so knowledgeable and knew the best spots, as well as good timing of the whole trip. If you drove yourself you would miss all of that. Such an awesome day and everything was with ease. We were extremely lucky too.! The weather turned it on for us- raining at the best times and holding off at the right times. The rain brought out all the cascading waterfalls. We even got to get close to some seals and dolphins on the cruise (perks of being on a small cruise), and if you’re game you take a dip under a waterfall on the cruise too. A must do and we all wish we could go back some day soon with VIP Milford

Even though it rained all day so our views were a little limited, it was a wonderful day out with great commentary and sight seeing. The picnic lunch was great also. Highly recommended.

Very happy that my friends and I took this tour! Tour guide seems really knowledgeable about the place.

Perfect weather, comfortable coach,perfect timing, informative and interesting tour! We enjoyed a lot during the whole journey!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, way better than being in a giant bus with a ton of people. The cruise was incredible and our local driver was very knowledgeable

Everything was perfect with this trip from the coach to the cruise, the passengers to the food. Mark, our driver n guide, was one of the nicest persons I’ve ever met. Such a delight to be on this tour!

The coach picked us up on time, the driver was very informative, entertaining and friendly. The coach was very comfortable and always on schedule. The cruise was clean, friendly staff, food was tasty with a wide choice. The views were spectacular and heavenly. Overall the entire coach-cruise by VIP Milford was one of the best journeys we have taken so far. I totally recommend it to anyone. For that price, it is totally worth your money.
