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
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!
Was a great trip- Jono was awesome, full of local knowledge.
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.
Thank you Jucy Cruise for Good service.
Awesome trip! Our driver cowboy was very amoosing! Bus ride was smooth and despite the weather on the cruise it was wicked. Great scenary.
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
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.
Long day but really enjoyed the experience. Bus driver was good and everything ran on time. Natural beauty was amazing.
Wow., Just Wow! AMAZING TRIP.. I booked a helicopter flight to Milford for my Mum for her 70th birthday. Unfortunately the weather was bad so Heliworks helped her chose another day. The morning she was due to fly they upgraded her trip to an even better one - with a stopover on a glacier, then to a secluded beach on the West Coast (which she said was the highlight), then into Milford Sound. She said the whole trip was just AMAZING, and so memorable. The pilot was so friendly and knowledgable and she hasn't stopped talking about it , or showing us the fabulous photos .. thank you for giving my Mum such a fabulous experience .
Good driver
Milford Sound is such a beautiful place, with awe-inspiring, other worldly scenery. I could just imagine dinosaurs or dragons suddenly appearing out of the mist.
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!!
Was extremely happy? it was a fantastic day so happy I went
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!
Great fun, great group and a great guide... Perfect way to see the Fjord.
We had the most beautiful sunny day with no wind, fantastic views, amazing day
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 !
Long coach trip but very informative and well worth it.
Highly recommend to everyone although there may be a chance tour can be cancelled due to road closure in winter season. Our driver, Sam, kept us entertained with his commentary during the tour. We had a fantastic time, with a few stops along the way for photo opportunity.
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 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.
What an incredible day, from the moment our driver Mark picked us up from our accommodation till the moment we were dropped back home his friendliness, professionalism and local knowledge was a pleasure to be around. The small tour size allowed for many stops along the way to Milford Sounds, unloading and reloading was a breeeze and not once did we feel we had to wait for the prime spot to take photos or wait in lines to board like you would in a regular coach. Milford Sounds from the boat was incredible but much to our surprise the scenery on the journey there was the even more spectacular. After finishing our day with Milford VIP we knew we had received the best experience Milford Sounds has to offer, I would highly recommend them to everyone. You will not be disappointed!
Our driver Johnny was easy to converse with. I sat up front & enjoyed the views during our drive to Milford Sound & back. There were only five of us, plus Johnny, so it was easy getting on/off during our various photo stops. Enjoyed the Cruise I went on with Real Journeys. It rained just a bit, but enough to bring out a few additional falls during the two hours we were out. I had been doing a lot of driving around NZ in the days preceding, so was happy to book a tour that included transport from Te Anau. :)
I recommend availing the coach tour rather than driving going to milford sound. Our bus driver/tour guide named Craig was very nice, intelligent and had lots of funny stories to share. Definitely worth the money. Lunch inside the cruise was also affordable.
Small group works for us just fine. We had great weather. Sacha was really nice and we had plenty of stops along the way. The buffet was nice, Cruise a little crowded... saw seals and dolphins too!
Good experience, well worth the money
We had a great day from Queenstown to Milford Sounds yesterday the bus driver knew her stuff and the buffet was yummy. Unfortunately the boat had a machanical issue but the crew were quick to react and get us aboard another boat to we still got to take in whe whole Milford sound experience.
I can not recommend this experience enough. It was absolutely awesome. We were on the bus ‘AWESOME’ and Paul the driver was so entertaining giving us a lot of history and interesting detail about the native birds, environment, area and all given in a way that was definitely not not boring
This is an excellent experience thought iris my 2nd times to milford sound after about 20 years. The coach was nice with glass top and the driver Russel provide commentary on the different aspect of NZ during the trip. There are a few short stops for viewing between Te Anau and milford sound, however, it was raining the entire day. The experience was interesting as raining you can see many waterfalls as compared to sunny day. The wind was strong and the boat get close to the waterfalls for a wet experience. Underwater observatory was good, however, due to rain, the water was not clear at 10m below surface. While we still see many fishes, etc, it properly will be better with clearer water when no orless rain. Overall a good experience and enjoyable trip thought long travel time.
Amazing. Milford is beautiful but scenery along the way is even better. Bus driver is rich in knowledge and humer. sorry dont remenber her name
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.
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...
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!
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.
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.
everything was awesome!
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! ♥️
