We took a 8am flight to Milford on Friday with Elliot, he was a great pilot and very informative. We then took the jucy cruise in Milford which was also very informative and relaxing cruise , we flew back to queenstown on another relaxing flight . Air wakatipu and jucy cruise a great combination. Def worth it and would do it all again
Thank you Jucy Cruise for Good service.
Fantastic commentary on the bus, plenty of stops to stretch legs and take photos. Unfortunately we had pretty bad weather so hid inside the boat for most of the time. But the boat was great, food and beverages were top notch (good options incl. healthy food and not overpriced). Would not hesitate to book with Go Orange again.
The guide was very kind and funny! Explaining all the time everything around! The transport from Queenstown to Milford was excellent, with free water and air-con, small pauses during the trip to take photos and talk a bit about the regions. When we were there, wow, the scenery is totally breathtaking! Strongly recommend!
Was a great trip- Jono was awesome, full of local knowledge.
Great fun, great group and a great guide... Perfect way to see the Fjord.
This outfit were a well oiled machine! From start to finish their friendly staff made you feel safe, excited and comfortable. This was one of the top 5 experiences travel in my life - the plane journey was superlative! The views so up-close you feel like you are part of the mountain. The Milford cruise was stunning and again very comfortable with knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend the whole experience!
When i came to New Zealand for the first time 7 years ago, i didn't know it was possible to do a day walk in the Milford Track. Unfortunately you have to book in advance (like one year before) if you want to do the whole track, and because of covid i wasn't sure that i could be able to do it. The best option was to do a day walk. After the booking, I received an email from the staff asking me when i wanted to start and when they can pick me up. I started at 8.30 am and i took the water taxi at 1 pm. So they give you plenty of time if you want to walk a little bit further than the Falls. the last boat is at 4.30 pm. I recommend totally !
We had great weather--not a cloud in the sky--and our guide Tobias was wonderful. We kayaked around 15km over 4 hours and enjoyed the peaceful beauty of Milford Sound. All gear is provided, just make sure to take insect repellent and a bag lunch/snacks.
Had an amazing time. It’s the best way to see and explore Milford Sound. It’s fun, personable and a great work out. All gear supplied (wetsuit, thermals, etc). Our guide was fantastic as well. Definitely worth doing if you’re going to Milford Sound.
We had the most beautiful sunny day with no wind, fantastic views, amazing day
Excellent guides, lots of new information and the tasting of 2 eatible plants.
This is a beautiful experience. Our pilot was lovely, talked to us all the way and the flight was very safe and scenic. The cruise was equally as good, with awesome people running it. They even stop and have a chat - just so friendly. The Milford Sound is unforgettable, so majestic and a beautiful part of New Zealand. Totally recommend it.
I would totally recommend miter peak cruises as my experience with them was out of this world. Safety is there number one priority so when I needed medical attention they went above and behold there call of duty. Thanks to all medical staff involved in flying me out and to the medic a big thank you to Steve the medic for making the right decision. ABIG AROHA to you all Regards Allison Clark
First, I want to thank the pilots, especially henry for his kindness to our boy and his great handling of the plane. #butterlanding The trip on the modern and luxurious cruise ship was also unforgettable and the views beautiful.
It was the most amazing day. The flight and scenery was incredible our pilot Elliott was amazing pointing out mountain areas and names, flying close just amazing. Our cruise was great, what a lovely country we live in. I would definitely put this on your 'to do' list.
Absolutely outstanding views and a fantastic staff, they made it so much fun and gave great bits of info! Thank you so much for a great time! ♥️
We were lucky enough to have such a beautiful day. We saw dolphins, penguins and seals. It was gorgeous. Also got to go under a waterfall and drink from a waterfall. My partner says this is the most beautiful place he's ever seen.
This was a fantastic cruise, what an overload of scenery and views. The boat's crew were great, very knowledgeable with a humorous twist occasionally. Going under the waterfalls was an interesting experience, a particularly wet one for the crew member who went under the fall to collect glasses of water for passengers to sample! Parking at the Sound was easy (campervan) & free, the whole cruise was organised so efficiently we couldn't fault it. The drive from Te Anue was easy and several viewing stops. A really well worthwhile trip to make especially with the Bookme discount. We also went on a Doubtful Sound trip and both my wife & I enjoyed Milford Sound more although both are great experiences in their own way.
We loved Damien and tom etc, the cruise was great, not much wild life, but that's the sounds for you. We did the 9.30am and only 15 on board. We travelled the same areas as real journeys that we went on the next day but with 500 Chinese at 11am. Real journeys goes a lot faster, so cruise went faster than the nature cruise. Would recommend it over the bigger boats. You don't get the coach loads of people on board.
It was a rainy day but that meant lots of waterfalls. The boat and crew were lovely. Great commentary with a sense of humour. Highly recommended
So beautiful no matter the weather. My son thought drinking waterfall water was like the best thing ever. We saw heaps of different wildlife like Seals and penguins. Such good value for money! I would definitely do this again with the family!
Amazing landscape! Snow mountain, blue ocean, touchable waterfalls, cute penguins, lazy seals, wandering dolphin family, together friendly staff and clean tidy boat. In brief, unforgettable!
everything was awesome!
Just the right conditions to see lots of waterfalls as it had rained for two days before the cruise. Mist lifted with the sunrise. Beautiful and breathtaking views.
Our group of 3 adults and 3 kids did this on a cool sunny winters day. The captain was very knowledgeable and told us all about the history of the places we visited. So many stunning photo ops. This was the highlight of our south island trip.
Everything was perfect... Not so many people, a lots of interesting information, shower in the middle of the waterfall... Beatifull dolphins, seals...... Perfect day... MITRE peakCruise was the smallest boat, but the best one...
Unique place, photos don’t give justice of how beautiful it is, definitely a must do. The cruise is very comfortable, very friendly and helpful staff and nice fish and chips for lunch
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.
for $20 this was amazing
It was great and we loved the site.
Lovely crew, plenty of seating inside and standing area outside (some benches as well). The bacon sandwich is nicer than the photo in the brochure makes you think, although more a snack than a full breakfast but still tasty. Veggie option was tomato and cheese. We saw a lot of dolphins, the skipper turned around so that we could see better, before continuing with the cruise. Very good value for money in my opinion. The beautiful area helps of course, but we had a great morning and would recommend this trip
The cruise was brilliant! The boat was amazing, not a bad seat on it. The staff were friendly and really informative too. Would definitely recommend booking with these guys
We always book with Jucy. Very dependable. The o my suggestion we have is to bypass TeAnau Downs. The other tours buses pass it for a reason … we’d rather have the extra time at Mirror Lake. Most of the boat crew was so helpful and friendly, the lunch was satisfying also. Great job!
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
Even it's was a rainy and windy day, we're so happy and had a great experience!
I highly recommend this.
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.
Absolutely lovely scenery to see on this cruise! Had the perfect day for it and saw lots of seals!
Super relax and beautiful!
