Awesome trip
So pleased we didn’t drive as the bus we were in had glass ceiling so the views were amazing our driver Shey was enthusiastic with some great stories about the area, the boat trip around the Fiord was great some beautiful water falls and scenery and again the information about the area was very interesting. I would like to comment about the price as a lot of these type of trips for New Zealanders should have a local rate as there are so many things to see in our own back yard that we just can’t afford.

Great experience
We really enjoyed our bus trip to Milford Sound to enjoy a buffet lunch and boat cruise. The scenery is amazing. Pity it was raining but we will back on a beautiful sunny day to do it all again!

Relaxing way to see Milford Sound
Our cruise was changed to a picnic lunch and discovery cruise by the company. The coach was very comfortable a.d the driver and guide very accommodating to passengers needs. The driver knew great olaces to stop which we would of missed had we driven ourselves. The picnic lunch was great and heaps to eat. We ended up twking food home

Super driver guide / poor buffet
Super driver with super service and great explanations during the bus trip. Buffet on board : poor , very long waiting line whilst sailing in a beautiful part - too many Chinese guest
