Awesome experience
The best experience of Milford sound is with Mitre peak cruises. Been on another cruise before but this was really different and you get to experience the water falls as they take you closer to the falls than any other cruises out there.
From Milford Sound Cruise - Mitre Peak Cruises
Kia ora, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your cruise and look forward to welcoming you again. Nga mihi, Mitre Peak Cruises

Excellent
Most insane views of New Zealand (after 8 months traveling in this country). This experience is worth every penny. Don’t bother too much about which company to take, they are all doing the same tour and going close to the waterfalls it really makes no difference. Pure Milford was great and even saw 3 dolphins. It was very cold during mid June so take a lot of clothes with you

Worst captain
This is the fourth time I have been to Milford sound & this is the only time I have had a bad experience. The captain was so rude towards the people with kids & also towards people with disabilities & also the vessel was not that disability friendly . I will not recommend anyone to do mitre peak cruises.
From Milford Sound Cruise - Mitre Peak Cruises
Kia ora Latif, Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and for your time on the phone explaining the situation. We are sorry that you and your family had a poor experience on our cruise due to a misunderstanding about where accessibility devices can be used and stored on board. We are following up with our crew to further their training on how best to support passengers with disabilities, and have scheduled additional training on wheelchair access on board. We wish you and your family a wonderful time for the rest of your holiday, and apologise again for your negative experience on our cruise. Nga mihi, Mitre Peak Cruises Team.

Fantastic
Fantastic cruise, mid-sized boat that made it feel like a smaller shared adventure. Great staff and interesting facts shared onboard. Range of drinks included
