It was a great time at milford, they have taken us to all attractions on milford sound as it mentioned on their website. We fully enjoyed going with go orange cruise.
Even it's was a rainy and windy day, we're so happy and had a great experience!
Absolutely lovely scenery to see on this cruise! Had the perfect day for it and saw lots of seals!
I highly recommend this.
The driver gave very informative n interesting commentary and she’s friendly too. Love the places that we went and I managed to capture many fantastic scenery! The cruise trip was very calming and Milford Fiord is just magnifient. Remember to bring enough warm clothing, gloves and hats/hoodie. It was very cold ?
Great cruise, lovely boat, amazing scenery, definitely would recommend.
First impressions that last... greeted at the service counter with a great smile with full explanation about the cruise, the fish & chips served onboard was yummy and the explanation given by the crews onboard was informative
Worth every penny
Great trip and really enjoyed our time together :) The snow and trip was cold but well worth it and glad we did a tour and didn't do the drive in ourselves!
Super relax and beautiful!
Great experience!
everything was communicated well and accordingly and great service. Would recommend this cruise
Highly recommend this tour. At first we were hesitant about the length of time to get there and back but the our fabulous tour guide Andy and wonderful scenic stops made the effort totally worth it. The company is very professional to deal with, the bus very comfortable - picking us up from outside our hotel and dropping us back. The weather was fantastic and due to the lack of overseas tourists made for a more intimate and pleasurable experience on our cruise.An experience we will never forget!
10/10 to the team - went like clockwork all day, the bus ride was great, the cruise was fantastic, the lunch was superb and Lu the bus drive / tour guide was outstanding. Highly recommended.
Couldnt have asked for better service. Ryan was very knowledgable about so much of the area. We really enjoyed it and learnt heaps!!!!
The experience on the Go Orange Milford cruise was a highlight of our holiday the skipper and the crew were so humble to us. They were very warming and made it a trip to remember. So we say a big thankyou to you all.
Excellent coach driver named Brad. Brad has a great knowledge of the area and excellent diver in which he shows in his driving and he's one on one with the passengers. Brad is surely a great asset to his company in which he works for... Go Orange. The cruise itself was excellent and we both really enjoyed it immensely... In a nutshell.... Excellent day for all concerned...have slot more photos.. but were all taken on the other camera...
Friendly staff greeted us at the desk. Went on a smaller boat around the sound. Captain gave great commentary and the staff on board talked to us pointing things out. We were fortunate enough to spot some dolphins and seals and a couple of penguins. This was largely due to the captain knowing what to look for and stopping at the right places. Couldn't fault anything and would recommend.
Clean boat, free tea and coffee. Lots of room and decks to move around on.
Gabe was a very informative and humourous tour guide. We enjoyed the humour that was also included in the recorded tour. We would never have known to stop at all the little places on the way to Milford Sound so glad that we did! Views were amazing!
Thank you for a wonderful informative cruise .the young grew member was very willing to take our picture with the waterfalls and shear information when asked. Thanks you u both
It was an unforgettable experience ❤️ Nature at its best. ? driver was really good... gave really good information about history of Milford Sound
This was an incredible experience and so worth the money. Gareth was a wonderful pilot , so friendly and informative. The cruise was beautiful too. Loved the chance to get up close to the waterfalls! I highly recommend this experience.
The scenery is simply amazing, the mountains, the ocean, the waterfalls, and the forest are all breathtaking. No matter what the weather is, rain, snow, or sunny it is always a wonderful trip when you visit Milford Sound. Mitre Peak cruises were a great company to go with. Small boats which meant less people, inside viewing and outside along with the friendly commentary and helpful service made this trip extra special.
We went on an absolutely perfect day, under clear skies and just after a massive rain had gone through, and I’d 1000% recommend! Riding the swell out was tons of fun from our spot standing at the front of the boat. The captain also took us right up into a couple waterfalls, which was both fun and funny. I personally haven’t experienced a cruise with one of the bigger boats that the other local companies use, but it certainly seems like it’s a bit more fun with these guys and their little vessels. Cheers, and have a great time in Milford!
My husband and I absolutely LOVED this experience! ? It was a wonderful day out at Milford Sound and this boat cruise was well worth it! The onboard crew were outstanding, helpful and informative and we got to truly experience Milford Sound at its finest! Definitely worth doing! ❤️
Was so confused about which cruise to go on, apparently they are all quite similar but I really enjoyed Mitre Peak cruise. It seems they go a little bit more further out than most of the boats there, and stopped a bit to see some wildlife and go close the the waterfalls. The captain and crew were very informative and helped us take photos. The boat wasn't too large which I prefer so we wouldn't have to walk too much from the front of the boat to the deck.
The staffs were very welcoming they made sure everyone were ok, food we bought on the boat didnt disappoint enjoyed the vege soup, weges & toasties, hot & delish. Skipper did an awesome job. Thank you Milford Sound Nature Cruise Awesome experience will definitely come back with the rest of the family
Highly recommended! Do it! Such a beautiful place. The weather was perfect and the boat and crew were awesome! Earlier the better as less crowded.
I have been on other cruises at Milford Sound and the Mitre Peak is my favourite by far. Because it’s a smaller boat, it has the opportunity to get way closer to the edges to see wildlife and waterfalls. Love it!
Even though its cloudy, gloomy & rainy, me & my siblings love every single moments being there. ?
All crews are professional and friendly. Small ship is the best for travel to Milford Sound!
Good experience, well worth the money
Great experience from start to finish. Bridget kept us up to date after 1st trip was cancelled due to the weather. Andrew picked us up on time and pilot Ewan was great pointing things out during the flight and even warning us when to expect a wee bump or two. Cruise was also brilliant. The captain and crew kept us well informed. We’re worth the cost.
The cruise was awesome and well organized, stunning views we will remember long. I recommend springtime if you have some luck and weather is good.
Thank you lads..... your cruise was wonderful. Loved the time you took to explain the awesome history of this 8th Wonder of the World. Truly a magnificent trip out on the water. Your boat is perfectly equipped. We were so lucky to spot penguins and seals....such a wonderful surprise I wasn’t expecting. Thank you again. L
Beautiful landscapes to enjoy. Best part when the boat approached a waterfall
Felt very privileged to have the opportunity to experience this. Fantastic weather with spectacular scenery. True South pilot Jason was informative friendly and accommodating.beautiful spot to visit in NZ
Lots of wow moments on the cruise. Staff super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.
This cruise was incredible A much smaller boat which meant a more intimate view Ryan was extremely knowledgeable and was able to share his own history and knowledge of the area, environment and conservation efforts, which we would not have been able to experience with any other cruise. Would highly recommend this cruise. Will be back for sure
Decided to take a smaller vessel to avoid all big groups, nice and relaxed cruise. Got some good commentary but not overly which give you time to enjoy the surroundings.
Coach there and back was extremely comfortable, guide was informative but didnt talk too much, pulled over to some stunning places for walks and photo ops. Buffet on the cruise was incredible, huge variety and absolutely delicious. The cruise was awe inspiring. Amazing scenery. It was raining when we went but we dressed warm and had rain coats. The waterfalls were incredible with the rain. The boat stuck its nose under a few for some great photo ops. Cant fault this experience.
Totally enjoyed this trip especially that there has been a fair bit of rain for the waterfalls to show their strength in how much volume the water can flow . The skipper - fiord was entertaining and some of the punch lines were funny as a kiwi we understood what he was saying . Thank you .
What an awesome experience we had with the cruise. A big shout out to the captain who was AMAZING and had such a great sense of humour. Very friendly staff. An experience which we would remember it forever! Great lunch bags as well and an outstanding observatory experience. So calm and serene! Thank you so much for such an awesome experience. Highly recommended!!!
