Lucky 🥝
I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to jump on this day mission. It certainly is the 8th wonder of the world, as the only kiwi aboard I couldnt help but wish more New Zealanders could experience this beautiful part of our country, thats not to say this excursion was out of reach as it was certainly value for money, Queenstown on the other hand (Jeeeeeeee whizzzzz!!) The bus ride was comfortable, Peter was an amazing guide and Jack drove that bus like a champ 🏆👏 The photo stops were breathtaking! And the cruise was out of this world amazing. An experience i will never forget! 10 stars 🌟

Ideal tour from Queenstown
Such a great tour with good guides (Peter and Jack). Good pace for all ages, nice photo stops and a great surprise stop to feed some farm animals on the way home. Milford Sound is breathtaking and it was nice to be on a smaller boat.

Milford Coach and cruise tour
Excellent tour. Stops along the way on both the coach and cruise tour. Great commentary on both the bus and cruise. The young lady who spoke during the cruise was very knowledgeable and gave a great commentary. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend.

Highly recommended for a fantastic experience
Very comfortable coach, punctual and professional services. Peter, our guide had a good sense of humour. Jack, our driver gave us an incredibly smooth drive. While on the cruise, it was a fantastic experience. Jazz, our guide on the cruise gave very good information while on-board and had a great sense of humour. Our vessel was very comfortable and small making it possible to navigate close to the mountains and our captain ensured that we spotted seals and dolphins from up close.
