This was the best decision we made on our Honeymoon! Maddy at the desk was an absolute gem to coordinate with. We signed up for the Friday and had cancellations due to the weather and not meeting the min required number of passengers on the tour over the next two days. Maddy was polite, helpful and could see that we were willing to make anything work just to have the experience in a Helicopter. She emailed the next day saying we were in luck with other passengers signing up and would fly the next day! That morning was perfect blue skies and Heli Tours went above and beyond by upgrading us to the longer Milford Sounds Extended Tour just so that we could get up there. We will never forget this experience and it was hands down the absolute highlight of our Honeymoon. Thank you to Maddy and our pilot for the most incredible day that we will remember for the rest of our lives!! Highly recommend supporting this local enterprise.
I went there with my husband, they are awesome, very friendly, complimentary tea and coffee arrangements onboard. We loved our trip.
Love love loved this cruise! It’s not something that we would normally do but glad we made the travel. The captain was well informed of our surrounding and the history of the locations. Saw some penguins and seals which was amazing! 10/10 would do again and the team are super friendly! Thanks for making our break away from our busy jobs that much better mitre peak cruises!
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.
Perfect flight with very experienced friendly and knowledgeable pilot. I couldn’t fault him even though he is an Ozzie.
The internal looks like lounge/cafe setting, very modern style. You can order fosh&chip, coffee etc on the boat. The boat has 3 floors you can choose to go outside. Bottom floor goes to the head of the cruize Mid floor: entry to the deck Upper floor: entry to the upper deck Lots of room and lots of great scenery along the way! Stood on the upper deck and took ton of beautiful photos.
I really enjoyed the viewing deck, it had plenty of space and was able to sip some great beers while enjoying the commentary and views. Food was great and service was excellent.
Absolutely lovely scenery to see on this cruise! Had the perfect day for it and saw lots of seals!
All crews are professional and friendly. Small ship is the best for travel to Milford Sound!
The cruise was really nice, having a fine day to enjoy it. My kids enjoyed watching the dolphins swimming around and the breathtaking views. The lunch was ok, could have been better. Overall, awesome cruise?
Although the view of the mountains was bad because of the rain, we got to see much more waterfalls. Wherever you looked there were waterfalls. Amazing. The size of this particular boat was smaller than you might expect, which was perfect. Not too many people (around 50). It was a very comfortable cruise, nice soft seats, coffee and thea as much as you like, easy to walk around, big windows and enough place outside to take your pictures. Also nice that it stopped about 3 times almost under a fall.
Southern discovers are always great, we booked via Bookme and got a good deal. The drive in the instructions says to allow 5.5 hours but it only took us about 4 hours from Queenstown with a couple short stops. The trip itself was cool, we got to go under a waterfall and the commentary was good. Only thing I can fault is that they didn’t try the seating off after the previous trip so we had to ask for them to dry a seat off. Make sure to take fly spray as the info centre sells it’s for $20. This isn’t anything to do with southern discoveries though and no bugs on the boat itself. Just in the car park. And keep in mind parking is $10 per hour or if you pay on the machine in the terminal it’s $30 for overnight parking. We did not see this until in the terminal. Make sure to take warm clothes and something dry for after if you like to sit outside. Will be back again :)
Must do if you in Milford Sound
Mark at VIP was an amazing driver and tour guide. Mark took us to a lot of different stops on the way there and back that we would never have done if we had driven ourselves. Mark had an extensive knowledge about Te Anau and Milford Sound and was always approachable. The cruise was amazing and we loved seeing a beautiful part of New Zealand we had not explored before.
What a spectacular trip to Milford Sound. It was an amazing experience and Marcus was also the star! Kudos to Milford Sound Select.
Worth watching and must go place. Enjoy every second. Cruise staff was friendly.
Rain couldn’t stop us from visiting Milford, so we’ve seen lots of waterfalls as a bonus. Mitre Peak crew made our experience unforgettable- small boat, insightful stories and delicious coffee. Thanks guys
It was really nice and would like to go again
A good trip for my family, nice driver and crews, beautiful views, Milford tour, I choose VIP-Milfird.
Well informed staff, friendly and helpful .the boat is small so it gets you closer to waterfalls and the seal rock.tea and coffee is free .There is not more you could ask for , we had a fantastic time.
Good Experience
It was a great time at milford, they have taken us to all attractions on milford sound as it mentioned on their website. We fully enjoyed going with go orange cruise.
Staffs are very friendly and they do great services. We have lots of experiences when they explain lots of things in detail. We were very enjoying to get closer to the falls. So great. The feeling which we never forget. Thanks so much for everything.
C’était tout simplement incroyable, nous avons eu une météo parfaite
Totally worth it !!! Its a very good experience and I do recommend.
First impressions that last... greeted at the service counter with a great smile with full explanation about the cruise, the fish & chips served onboard was yummy and the explanation given by the crews onboard was informative
Felt very privileged to have the opportunity to experience this. Fantastic weather with spectacular scenery. True South pilot Jason was informative friendly and accommodating.beautiful spot to visit in NZ
Such an amazing experience. Staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
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 couldn’t have had a better experience in Milford. I love the size of the boat small and intimate as I don’t like big crowds, friendly and knowledgeable crew. We will definitely be back!
It was an amazing experience (the weather also behaved). We took the 11.10am tour and were amazed by the sights. What made it even more enjoyable was "Kiwi" history commentary by one of the maori guides. Being a Kiwi myself, I definitely appreciated it. Chinese commentaries were heard from other cruises.
Best trip I've done in nz in 7 years! Great job guys!
The way the entire experience was planned was amazing. Every small details were covered and it was not rushed. Really enjoyed the peace and nature
Such a beautiful and amazing experience and we were lucky enough to see some dolphins too.
The experience on the Go Orange Milford cruise was a highlight of our holiday the skipper and the crew were so humble to us. They were very warming and made it a trip to remember. So we say a big thankyou to you all.
Incredible experience.gtreat service.i would recommend this cruise for everyone.
Highly recommend doing this cruise.
Milford Sound is a geographical marvel with amazing, jaw-dropping sights. Well worth a visit. Mitre Peaks makes the whole experience even better. The boat was small enough to accommodate better up-close experiences, and the skipper was friendly and enthusiastic. He cheekily brought us all the way into one of the waterfalls and skillfully maneuvered the boat 360° near a rock with fur seals on it, so everybody gets a great view! Definitely recommending this for anybody visiting New Zealand’s South Island
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!
Difficile de choisir entre toutes les compagnies qui proposent la visite du fjord. Finalement notre choix s est porté sur cette compagnie (merci bookme) et vraiment c était parfait petit bateau donc groupe acceptable (et non pas la foule) capitaine et son second très sympas et nous ont permis de se faire arroser sous les cascades et de voir des phoques et des pingouins !!! Et nous donner un tas d infos (bon on a pas tout compris ?)
Awesome
I crowded, plenty of viewing areas option to add kayaking, underwater experience and lunch to cruise. Great informative commentary, super friendly crew. Complimentary tea and coffee with the ability to purchase snacks, hot soup and alcohol. Loved everything about this experience. Thank you from cheekyricho cooking YouTube channel in Australia
Waterfall watching
This cruise was awesome! I did the early morning one at 9.25am which was great because only a few people on board and lots of room to move. The staff were all very friendly and approachable and the boat and toilets onboard were very clean. We got to see seals and go under waterfalls! The cruise ended slightly earlier which I was happy about because despite it being great everyone was ready to dock :) I recommend that they have some rain coats on board and then I’d give this cruise 10/10! Thanks Jono and crew!
