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.

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!

Long coach trip but very informative and well worth it.

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

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.

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!

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 😊

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.

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 ?

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.

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 👍

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

The driver picked us up from accommodation. We drove 2,5 hours to Milford Sound with a very informative commentary and a lot of stops along the way, to take stunning pictures and to get closer to the nature! The cruise ship was from real journey with a nice lunch buffet with many options.(yes it's very Asian oriented, but still delicious!) On both ways we made a stop to use bathroom facilities. girls no worries ;) The best thing about leaving Te Anau early is that all the tourist buses are not in Milford sound yet. It's still quiet with a nice VIP feeling. Thanks for this day!

Wonderful day tour. Comfortable coach arrived on time with our driver Reece who was full of knowledge of the area. He paced the journey beautifully and knew all the photo stops. The cruise through Milford was more than I expected - would love to do it again, saw waterfalls, bottle nose dolphins, fur skin seals and mutton birds. To travel to the Tasman sea down the Fiord. I would rate it 10/5 for the entire trip if I could!

We had a coach/cruise during summer and was great! But for this year,we booked on a winter time since my sister who came from overseas wanted to experience snow via Mildford. It was such a very good and exciting trip.From our coach bus driver Thank you but sorry I forgot your name you're champion! Till we board on the cruise with superb lunch and nice staff.

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!

It was really nice :)

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.

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.
