Amazing day
From the start we were welcomed onto the bus. The drivers knowledge of the area was great. Throughout the whole experience I felt informed and looked after and would highly recommend the bus trip as there was no fuss about parking and could look around at the scenery, which was amazing.

Getting lost in Milford Beauty
Brilliant tour guide Nick and ex- formula one driver Guppy. The constant humour made the full day go smoothly. Even a brief and entertaining moment of getting lost at our first stop made our day very memorable and a highlight of the day! As Nz North Islanders it was an incredible experience to get lost in our own backyard. The full experience was worth the small investment and more, food was great and accommodated well to dietry needs. The cruise was wonderful too, and although this was meant to be the highlight of the day the coach ride took this vote for our experience. Comfort, entertaining and very informative. It definetly made us hungry to return.

Beautiful experience!
Relatively seamless experience and such a beautiful area to visit. Buffet was a nice touch and glad we got good enough weather to take the plane back to Queenstown.

5 star experience!
The pick up from Te Anau was on time and no stress with plenty of free street parking available. The bus was clean, roomy and very comfortable. Our guide/driver Keith made the whole trip even more enjoyable with his commentaries and easygoing nature. Appreciated his courteous and gentle driving (no one got car sick ). I am not sure which one was more exciting ; the journey to the pier or the boat ride itself ! Both were excellent experience! NZ is so beautiful!! Buffet lunch onboard exceeded my expectations with quality ingredients and variety.

Great tour with many information
Pick-up was on-time. Bus driver informed over the whole drive about landscape, wildlife, history, people, geography and many more. Also on the boat there very many comments. Buffet lunch was good. Whole organisation and timing perfect. We had great weather and enjoyed the tour.
