All crews are professional and friendly. Small ship is the best for travel to Milford Sound!
It's the long day as we spend most of the time riding on scenic view along the way to Milford Sound but we never get bored as Ngaire was giving us all the interesting informations nonstop. Really love how she come up with all jokes and still stay super informative. Love the tour and love spending our time with Ngaire. Give her 10/10 for all great work. We saw a bunch of dolphins and heaps of seals during Milford cruise. The ship is very convenient and newly refurbished. Great cafe and planty to choices for lunch or snacks. Recommend for you folks out there who wants to have fantastic experience on South Island. Love Ngaire tho, she's the best ???
Since our boat was smaller, we had less people on the cruise. It was easy to move around and take great pictures of the scenery.
Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys great views and stunning landscapes!
Amazing experience We had a wonderful trip on Milford Sound.Friendly staff, The scenery is incredible. The weather was clear. So lucky see dolphins and seals and penguin. Big thank you.
This is a highlight and this trip simply fantastic! Is is a scenic flight from Queenstown over snowy mountains till the beautiful fjord of Milford Sound! The boat trip over the fjord is almost therapy and sets your mind at ease: very relaxing. All in all an impressive nature experience!
Many thanks to the team at Miitre Peak. Captain and crew, as well as the staff at the kiosk. Great informative narrative from the captain, very friendly and approachable.
We choose a midday cruise and we loved it! Very bright day and we have plenty of time from Te Anau before we reach Milford Sound. Kids had fun running around the ship from top deck to the lower one. Not so many people and it was like we have it all by ourselves. You can buy some snacks and drinks on board or you can bring your own. There is dining area inside and outside so you can choose your seat. The ship goes until almost the open sea, some other ship turn back even earlier than ours.
Took my parents to Queenstown it was their first trip.booked this cruise very well scheduled and informative driver?Parents and I had a great time and best feeling was to get soaked at the waterfalls. Def recommend these guys to my friends
It was raining but that allows to see more waterfalls, great view and great staff
The trip is amazing, but the key is the weather and get there in time.
Was so confused about which cruise to go on, apparently they are all quite similar but I really enjoyed Mitre Peak cruise. It seems they go a little bit more further out than most of the boats there, and stopped a bit to see some wildlife and go close the the waterfalls. The captain and crew were very informative and helped us take photos. The boat wasn't too large which I prefer so we wouldn't have to walk too much from the front of the boat to the deck.
What any amazing trip on Milford sound. Excellent staff and great vessel. Milford Sound at its best plus pod of dolphins followed us all the way back up the sound.
Beautiful weather the day we did the cruise, we saw dolphins (a tick off my bucket list), and seals. Knowledgeable guide. Overall an awesome must-do experience!
The cruise was such a wonderful experience, one shouldn't miss out in their new zealand trip.
We took the 9am cruise to avoid the crowd and found that this was a very good decision. We were extremely lucky, since it had been raining for 5 days, but the weather cleared up when we did our cruise. The Real Journeys staff were very friendly, the view from both the top deck and the lower deck was nice, and the toilets were clean. Everything contributed to an amazing experience.
Affordable cruise, with lovely, knowledgeable staff. Boat was lovely. It was clean and felt safe. An amazing trip that I would love to do again one day. Thank you so much.
3 hours bus ride from Queenstown but the driver was very good, lively explanation of what we see on the way, stopping here and there for photos, drinking fresh mountain river water. The lake cruise stunning. Picnic basic but nice. Can definitely recommend this tour!
It was an unforgettable experience ❤️ Nature at its best. ? driver was really good... gave really good information about history of Milford Sound
Such an amazing experience. Staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
Incredible experience.gtreat service.i would recommend this cruise for everyone.
Really worth it!. Definitely must try
Such a beautiful and amazing experience and we were lucky enough to see some dolphins too.
Best trip I've done in nz in 7 years! Great job guys!
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 ??...
This is the way to do Milford! Worth every cent and you'll save about two days of your holiday doing it this way so you can do more stuff. The flights in and out equal the splendour of Milford itself.
Absolutely stunning view.
We had an amazing and entertaining Coach Driver who was very informative and friendly. The tour itself to Milford sound and the Boat Cruise was WORTH it!!! I work in hospitality industry and I must applaud the team on the great customer service. Will surely recommend !! Well Done!
First time in Milford sound with my kids and it never disappointed. Got up nice and close to waterfalls and seals etc well worth the trip.?
Pick up from Te Anau, wonderful trip to Milford Sounds, driver very nice. The cruise itself, 2h15, amazing ! Complimentary tea/coffee/hot chocolate / lunch for $10 if not included in your booking. Staff amazingly friendly !
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.
Totally worth it !!! Its a very good experience and I do recommend.
Was a great experience despite the rain. We got to see the seals, penguins (bonus) and a pod of dolphins in the distance. There was self service hot tea and coffee onboard which was a great comfort from the cold outside. Went up close to the waterfalls. The only issue was the free car park which was about 20+mins walk away so was not fun to walk in the rain but would be cool on a fine day. Would still recommend, the cruise itself was a lot of fun and quite educational. Loved it!
Quite far away from both Te Anau and Queenstown but worth visit, beautiful scenery but not very comfortable for free car parking which is far away to walk. The paid car park also quite expensive.
The Milford Sounds cruise is a must do! The scenery is absolutely stunning. The Mitre Peak crew were so friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
We booked this trip through bookme but unfortunately no order confirmation or receipt was received. We booked again direct. Upon arrival we had paid for 4 tickets and not 2. They actively refunded us there and then. The actual trip was a quick 2 hours through the sound and we stayed on upper viewing deck which was not crowded. A simple commentary was provided and we stopped 3 times to see highlights which for us was seeing a penguin and stunning scenery.
Great tour nice staff nice food !
Thank you for a wonderful coach and cruise. Such amazing natural beauty!! We want to especially thank Shale for being such a brilliant tour guide and making the bus trip so enjoyable.
Even though its cloudy, gloomy & rainy, me & my siblings love every single moments being there. ?
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 crew, fantastic boat and amazing scenery. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Thank you to Jucy and our crew!
Great experience from start to finish. Bridget kept us up to date after 1st trip was cancelled due to the weather. Andrew picked us up on time and pilot Ewan was great pointing things out during the flight and even warning us when to expect a wee bump or two. Cruise was also brilliant. The captain and crew kept us well informed. We’re worth the cost.
Coupled with a super sunny day out, it made a perfect cruise! Big thumb up to the friendly and experience staff. Cheers, MC
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 !
Absolutely lovely scenery to see on this cruise! Had the perfect day for it and saw lots of seals!
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!!
I recently took the Milford Sound Cruise operated by Mitre Peak Cruises, and I must say that it was a breathtaking experience. The fjord, waterfalls, and wildlife in the area were nothing short of spectacular. The staff on board the vessel were knowledgeable and friendly, and the captain provided insightful commentary throughout the cruise, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The vessel was quite bumpy it might be due to the weather. Additionally, I found the price of the cruise to be quite expensive compared to other activities in the area. Nevertheless, Mitre Peak Cruises offer a cheaper price among all the operator. Overall, I would highly recommend the Milford Sound Cruise operated by Mitre Peak Cruises for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty of Milford Sound. Despite some minor drawbacks, I would rate my experience 4 stars out of 5.
Bus was comfortable, large, well equipped including good heating/cooling. Driver was knowledgeable, entertaining, helpful and highly competent. Boat was comfortable, had versatile seating and viewing arrangements, & free fish and chips was great. Captain's commentary was informative and altogether bus and boat tour was most enjoyable. Staying in Te Anau rather than Queenstown would involve less travel on the day - Go Orange pick up from there. Hindsight id marvellous isn't 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
