Good scenery ... felt like a Jurassic park shooting location.. :D
We had such a great time with Andy on the ATV’s. He was a AWESOME instructor who could teach the complete novice. He is very big on safety and full of information on his surrounding farm and areas. Definitely a must do when visiting Te Anau ????
It was a great experience to ride ATV bike and scenery was soooo beautiful and wonderful! My husband had ATV tour at Queenstown before, but he mentioned Te Anau is much better place to see all beautiful nature than queenstown! Andy was very good instructor and nice entertainer! It was very easy to learn and very thrilled! Safe and fun. Good price with great view and experience! Thank you for Andy to give us a good tip about Glenorchy! It is a beautiful place as well! My husband and i are really enjoyed and definitely come back to do it again! Highly recommended!
We drove from Queenstown to Te Anau which was a beautiful drive with a lot of scenery - definitely worth it. The quad biking was absolutely incredible! Andy is a really good instructor and takes extra time for a warm up to get used to the bikes so very easy for beginners. The views from top of the hill are stunning! Would highly recommend doing this - thanks Andy!
Fantastic good fun. Andy really takes the time to ensure first timers (my wife) are confident in handling the bikes. These machines go anywhere and are easy to ride. The views from the top ridge's are awesome. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Loved every minute.
We had a great experience and pretty good deal via Bookme. The bus we used is brand new, spacious, and we had a smooth ride which is really handy for a whole day tour. Milford sound tour is a must of you're going to be in this side of New Zealand.
Had the most amazing day with Nigel and Lola the Tesla! We absolutely loved our trip to the Milford Sounds. We thought the Milford Cruise would be the highlight but it turned out to be the journey to and from the Sounds. Communication from the beginning was very precise and efficient and pick up was right on time. Riding privately in the Tesla was definitely a highlight in comparison to doing a bus tour with others. The ride was so comfortable, very awesome and safe driving and you get to really explore the area and know all the background history and information from a true local. Nigel made a huge effort to ensure we had the best day! We enjoyed all the commentary, the stops to places and perfect picture spots we would never have seen if we drove ourselves or took a public tour, and the comfort stops needed along the way. I can’t say enough about how amazing and how worth it this tour was and we have no regrets booking Envy Experiences tour. We will definitely let everyone know about exceptional service and the funnest day you could ask for. If you’re thinking of booking this trip, not only will you be supporting a local family run business but you’re guaranteed to have the best day!
Totally recommend this tour. Nigel is so knowledgeable about the area, very friendly, made us feel very comfortable. He adjusted the tour to the weather, we were so lucky to see all the waterfalls after the rain. The car is very luxurious and comfortable for the day. You gotta do this tour to Milford with Envy Experiences!
We were picked up by Nigel in his Teslar, Lola is her name! What a great experience, a must do if you want a privately hosted trip to Milford, we has stops along the way, to places we wouldn't have seen if we had done ourselves. The wonderful endless windscreen, allowing us to see the amazing scenery. A coffee stop, a short walk in an amazing forest, waterfalls, etc. Mirror lakes, This is a must do, we highly recommend this way of going to Milford, we were able to see the beautiful country and not worry about driving the roads! Beautiful cruise too, A fabulous day!!!! Try this! A must !
My wife & I booked this tour as we wanted to support a local business & do a private tour with a point of difference. Nigel was a great friendly host with a lot of local knowledge We had many great photo stops on the way to Milford Sound. It was a very comfortable ride to & back from Milford Sound. How often are you driven in a Tesla This tour includes a boat cruise on Milford Sound with Cruise Milford. We both highly recommend this tour.
My wife and I recently had a very enjoyable trip from Te Anau to Milford Sounds. Our tour guide, Ray, has a wealth of knowledge about this region. We had frequent photo stops and visits to waterfalls and other places of interest. The scons at morning tea were a treat! We had a great and enjoyable day. By driving to Milford Sounds ourselves we would have missed out a lot. This company can be highly recommended - a must do for anyone wanting to experience a Milfords Sounds road and boat trip.
Highly recommend this tour. We had Jamie as our guide and he was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We stopped at lots of places on the way to Milford and got introduced to Naughty Nigel, the Kea. Morning tea and lunch is very satisfying.
We had an intimate group of 16 tour mates and it was an absolutely wet and cold day. Not surprising as it rains 200 days in Te Anau, however, our thoughtful guide Jonathan has made our trip relatively enjoyable. He made some timing adjustments so that we do not meet groups from Queenstown and thus have a less crowded cruise journey. Umbrellas were provided for the stopovers. Lunch, scones & hot drinks provided was delicious and timely. Throughout the car ride, Jonathan shared many interesting information about Fiordland and answered any questions posted to him with good humour.
I did this tour with my elderly Mum and we both had such a great time. Lots of photo stops along the way, yummy date scones for morning tea and very knowledgeable, entertaining guide. I felt like they really cared about giving their guests good memories. Highly recommend ?
Stephen our driver and tour guide, was such an awesome guy! We were in awe and it was so inspiring seeing our country, the beautiful landscape and nature through his eyes, alot of knowledge and history...Highly recommended Fiordlands Tours from Te Anau 👍
We had an awesome day. Our guide, Jamie, gave an interesting commentary with snippets of local knowledge added in. He had an obvious interest in the nature and bird life around. Delicious morning tea and lunch were provided in an idealistic picnic setting. I have no hesitation in recommending this tour.
Karlyn was our driver and he was fantastic. His commentary and experience with the area was noticeable and he kept us entertained for the whole 10 hours of the trip. The day was an incredible and one we won’t forget and it will draw us back again.
A really great way to see Milford Sound and surrounds. We had an excellent tour guide with 22 years of experience who knew all the great spots and photo stops with a wealth of local knowledge which was very interesting. The picnic lunch was great with gluten free options offered. The cruise was also spectacular with sightings of seals, a lone penguin and even some dolphins!! A must-do.
Our journey with Trips and Tramps was very enjoyable. Would highly recommend Mitre Peak cruises and Trips and Tramps to our friends and family.
Absolutely wonderful. Personal touch and fabulous service. An amazing experience for my birthday. Thanks Adam & Anja. highly recommended.
We went on a true winter's day. Manapouri was dark and moody but the bus ride over was magical through all the native bush while it snowed. Doubtful sound was outstanding despite or because of the weather and the silence experience was great. The ride back over the pass in much heavier snow was fantastic. Full Mark's to the driver Eve. Might have been a hard year so far but that was an experience we would not have had if it hadn't been for NZers being encouraged to explore their own country
Having visited Te Anau occasionally we have found a trip that should be #1 to do on anyones list. Charming host with hospitality plus plus. Delicious canapes washed down with a cold beer or wine or tea or coffee if you prefer. Short bush walk to a stunning hidden lake you won't find otherwise.
Tara is amazing and responsible tourist guide. The trip is very nice. Recommend!
This cruise was a joy from start to finish! A wonderful, relaxing day, from when we were warmly welcomed aboard, till when we departed after a day full of beautiful views, delectable canapés, refreshing beverages & friendly chats with the crew. I would recommend this trip as one not to be missed. Thank you Faith in Fiordland.
Incredible VIP experience. Clear sky and calm water so I sailed the ship! Unforgettable experience guided by an experienced crew. Also they provide some food and good beer (or wine, or juice your choice) !
Two outstanding days. Both trips exceeded expectations. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, combined with safe, clean vessels made for a memorable couple of days.
The Faith is a beautiful vintage yacht that Adam and George bought and restored. They keep the tours at a small size so that they can interact with everyone onboard rather than blast information over a loudspeaker. If you ask, Adam might play the bagpipes and George the accordion. We did the morning tea cruise, and I imagine their other tours follow a similar format (all on the same boat). The tour was far less touristed than other trips in the area. It consisted of: 40 minute boat ride 30 minute light hike and tour of the Hidden Lakes (informative, and gorgeous) 30 minute morning tea (catered by a local cafe, with both drinks and food) 40 minute trip back Thanks for an amazing trip run and owned by locals!
What a wonderful way to spend the day! Ross was a fantastic tour guide. There were many stops to stretch our legs and take gorgeous photos. The cruise itself was great too. We got to get splashed with water from one of the waterfalls! The cruise boat also leaves early so it feels really peaceful on the water.
George and Adam were wonderful, full of history and information about the area. They took good care of us and we enjoyed every minute! Thanks so much.
