Before we arrived we had bad weather. But after the tunnel it was bright again. We saw some dolphine, seal and off course the beautiful fiords.
Great experience cruising on Milford sound with RealNZ.
2hrs of best memorable big boat ride is just best thing in the whole trip. Parking is quite costly with $10/hr. Overall a great experience and must do in a lifetime. It takes 2h15m from Te Anau. Back to queenstown take 4h 15min. I would suggest to stay in Te Anau so that it reduce lot of travel in a day.
