The cruise was a very special experience. We had a lot of rain during our cruise and didn’t see that much of the mountains, but the amount of waterfalls we saw beause of the rain was amazing!! The clouds in combination with the rain and the mist made it a mystic place for us. An unforgettable experience!
We schedule was on time. The pilot Blair showed and discussed us the sceneries along our flight, and on our way back we flew to a different route. It was really an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend True South Flight going to Milford Sound rather than long drive. It is one of a kind.
I really enjoyed the viewing deck, it had plenty of space and was able to sip some great beers while enjoying the commentary and views. Food was great and service was excellent.
Will Milford sound makes me feel awe since I have seen the grandeur of fiord in Norway? Before the trip, I was wondering if it is worth the distance to visit. Now I can say it is a different experience and it is all worthwhile. Thanks to the dolphin and fur seals!
Our driver Ngalie was such a friendly lady. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Milford Sound and stoked at the cheap prices we paid. Thanks for a great tour!
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
Things well organized The captain is funny We came in with a bad weather, but the captain has made us feel welcome and an interesting day. Remember to bring raincoat, u will get wet!
Incredible experience.gtreat service.i would recommend this cruise for everyone.
Loved our cruise, great views and boat tour the staff were friendly and gave good commentary of the area along the way
Great cruise nice boat and crew
Long day but really enjoyed the experience. Bus driver was good and everything ran on time. Natural beauty was amazing.
Awesome experience. We went super close to waterfalls and even saw dolphins. Recommend going just after it has rained. Great company to go with too!
Had a wonderful time with the Go Orange crew. Very polite and helpful. Good food on board. We drove from Queenstown to Milford, but I would recommend taking the coach service. Highly recommended when in Queenstown. Try and book it post a couple of rainy days, you'll see a lot of waterfalls.
Southern discoveries to Milford was a great company to tour with. From the helpful phone conversation as to where we could be collected to the very informative and a helpful bus driver. The coach was very comfortable and the stops along the way for coffee and points of interest were well spaced and with adequate time allowed to enjoy all. The boat trip on the Sound was great , staff very helpful and the food was delicious.
Although we did not experience the other cruises, the Jucy was a little cheaper and followed the same route as most of the other trip boats so therefore we as good value. The crew were friendly and informative. Only critism would be only tea was free, if you wanted coffee then put your hand in your pocket and the sound system was a bit poorvand tinny...they need some decent speakers.
What a great company! Service was excellent. Very friendly and helpful driver Johnny. Superb boat ride and lunch was yummy. A fab day out with JUCY would recommend 100 per cent. And we got sunshine! Thanks everyone involved it was memorable.
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.
Difficile de choisir entre toutes les compagnies qui proposent la visite du fjord. Finalement notre choix s est porté sur cette compagnie (merci bookme) et vraiment c était parfait petit bateau donc groupe acceptable (et non pas la foule) capitaine et son second très sympas et nous ont permis de se faire arroser sous les cascades et de voir des phoques et des pingouins !!! Et nous donner un tas d infos (bon on a pas tout compris ?)
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.
Awesome trip today with an amazing driver "Cowboy" good humour, corny jokes and a wealth of info. Lots of photo ops, refreshment stops and great scenery. Highly recommend.
Best trip I've done in nz in 7 years! Great job guys!
Good trip
We were unsure whether to drive to Milford or spend the money to fly & I'm so glad we chose the latter. The welcome & subtle weigh in was great, staff were all very friendly. The only thing needed before take off was possibly a 2nd toilet...took a while to queue for the facilities! The flight itself was amazing. We had a beautiful day for it, sunshine & clear skies. Our pilot, Karl was awesome pointing out the sights during the 40 min flight over the mountains & lakes. If anyone is thinking of doing this then please do...its an experience you wont forget!!
This was a wonderful experience the bus driver was great the cruise magical and once in a lifetime
Absolutely wonderful day. Definitely recommend it ?
Captain of the boat is very observant , sighted penguins in the bushes and we had no chance to do that . We were perplexed with sights , and beauty of Milford. Thank you team
The boat was nice, the staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. Free tea and hot water. Beautiful views despite the weather
Although the view of the mountains was bad because of the rain, we got to see much more waterfalls. Wherever you looked there were waterfalls. Amazing. The size of this particular boat was smaller than you might expect, which was perfect. Not too many people (around 50). It was a very comfortable cruise, nice soft seats, coffee and thea as much as you like, easy to walk around, big windows and enough place outside to take your pictures. Also nice that it stopped about 3 times almost under a fall.
not crowded, got free food, & offer same service with cheaper price. its good..though its a sunny day, so we cant see the hundred cascading waterfall
From the minute we boarded the bus, this was a day to remember. Our driver Jason (aka Cowboy) made the long journey down to Milford, both interesting and hilarious. The cruise, with Captain Dennis and his friendly crew, was breathtaking. The brilliant calm blue sunny day made it perfect. I would recommend the Go Orange experience to anyone. Couldn't have been better !
Wonderful trip highly recommended!
Wonderful coach and cruise to Milford Sound. The coach driver was very knowledgeable giving good insights. A smooth drive from Queenstown to Milford Sound. A few things could be improved to have a similar experience to guests- the rooftop glass window doesn't cover all, which is understandable considering other necessities, but could relook at how this can be made better; fantastic lunch but not enough tables especially with non Southern Discoveries booking the table for their clients; and finally just 3 stops for journey which has 15 scenic stops is pretty low. Overall still an enjoyable trip.
An absolutely amazing experience with this company and I highly recommended them. We were lucky enough to get outstanding weather on our trip which helped however i would not hesitate in travelling with them again .
everything was communicated well and accordingly and great service. Would recommend this cruise
Altitude tours and Mitre peak cruise was amazing! The van is very comy with wifi and charger! They also have a sun roof and big windows so we were able to enjoy the view to the fullest. Our driver was great and approachable! The cruise was so fun! And you get to enjoy the falls as it's a small boat so it was not crowded family enjoyed the whole trip! Ps bring extra clothes!:)
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.
Such good value for money, the staff are all really friendly and the views speak for themselves but the mitre peak know how to make the most of them and take you to all the best stops! Would definitely do this cruise again.
Awesome trip, the tour guide was the bomb, scenic views was just amazing words can't describe how beautiful milford sounds is and to top it of the soup of the day was yummy ? Recommend everyone to check Milford sounds out it's awesome ??...
If weather is clear it will take your breath away. We were lucky enough to experience this cruise during clear & calm weather. Choose your timing wisely because cloud cover or wind will totally change this experience. That said, the drive to the bay was well worth the entire trip alone. The mountains and landscape is beautiful!
Such a beautiful and amazing experience and we were lucky enough to see some dolphins too.
Brad was ana amazing tour guide and driver, felt safe and we were given very reliable and enlightening information about NZ, queenstown and its people. It was an adventure i will definitely will never forget.
Dave our driver/guide for the journey to Milford Sound was fantastic. Plenty of opportunities to stop for photos on the way to and from Milford Sound to capture the stunning beauty of this area. The cruise was wonderful, enjoyed the buffet lunch and the natural beauty of the area. This is a must do experience and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with VIP Milford.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. We got up really close to the waterfalls which added to the experience!! Would definitely recommend!!
The tour was nothing short of AMAZING! Our guide Jeff was spectacular and was very knowledgeable of the area! Milford Sounds is surreal and left my husband and me absolutely speechless! I highly recommend people do this instead of driving themselves. You learn so much about the area and history!!
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+++++ ❤️
Fantastic and friendly
Waterfall watching
I don't want to repeat what so many others have said, but simply a must do trip if you come to the Queenstown area. The flights up and back were actually the highlight (for me anyway) as you see so many mountain peaks and glacial lakes. The cruise up Milford sound was also fantastic and good to see that they adapt it based on conditions etc.
Totally worth it !!! Its a very good experience and I do recommend.
