We were picked up by Nigel in his Teslar, Lola is her name! What a great experience, a must do if you want a privately hosted trip to Milford, we has stops along the way, to places we wouldn't have seen if we had done ourselves. The wonderful endless windscreen, allowing us to see the amazing scenery. A coffee stop, a short walk in an amazing forest, waterfalls, etc. Mirror lakes, This is a must do, we highly recommend this way of going to Milford, we were able to see the beautiful country and not worry about driving the roads! Beautiful cruise too, A fabulous day!!!! Try this! A must !

Had the most amazing day with Nigel and Lola the Tesla! We absolutely loved our trip to the Milford Sounds. We thought the Milford Cruise would be the highlight but it turned out to be the journey to and from the Sounds. Communication from the beginning was very precise and efficient and pick up was right on time. Riding privately in the Tesla was definitely a highlight in comparison to doing a bus tour with others. The ride was so comfortable, very awesome and safe driving and you get to really explore the area and know all the background history and information from a true local. Nigel made a huge effort to ensure we had the best day! We enjoyed all the commentary, the stops to places and perfect picture spots we would never have seen if we drove ourselves or took a public tour, and the comfort stops needed along the way. I can’t say enough about how amazing and how worth it this tour was and we have no regrets booking Envy Experiences tour. We will definitely let everyone know about exceptional service and the funnest day you could ask for. If you’re thinking of booking this trip, not only will you be supporting a local family run business but you’re guaranteed to have the best day!

Totally recommend this tour. Nigel is so knowledgeable about the area, very friendly, made us feel very comfortable. He adjusted the tour to the weather, we were so lucky to see all the waterfalls after the rain. The car is very luxurious and comfortable for the day. You gotta do this tour to Milford with Envy Experiences!

My wife & I booked this tour as we wanted to support a local business & do a private tour with a point of difference. Nigel was a great friendly host with a lot of local knowledge We had many great photo stops on the way to Milford Sound. It was a very comfortable ride to & back from Milford Sound. How often are you driven in a Tesla This tour includes a boat cruise on Milford Sound with Cruise Milford. We both highly recommend this tour.

We had a fantastic day out. We appreciated the small tour group and the stops for photo opportunities along Milford Road. Our driver Karina was lovely and super knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend

Me and my friend had a wonderful day with Southern Discoveries. During the whole trip we felt so close to the untouched and splendid nature. The highlights of the trip were the great services we received and the beautiful people we met. Our humourous and knowledgeable coach driver made the journey really special and full of fun! The Underwater Observatory was also a very special experience for us and it was fun to see the wrong map of New Zealand that Captain Cook drew.

El bus, que no era un "small coach", como se indica en la publicidad, llegó a buscarnos a las 8:30 al Hostal en Te Anau. El conductor, un Kiwi que me costaba entenderle, pero era muy amable y nos iba contando sobre los diferentes lugares que íbamos pasando. El bus tiene varias paradas, con caminatas cortas para ver una casacada, las lagunas espejo y para ver las montañas antes del túnel. Después, subimos al barco, que era el más pequeño de todos los que vi en Milford Sound, lo que lo hacía más rápido y le permitía llegar más cerca de las cascadas y para ver las focas. Al final, se incluye un tour de 1 hora en el observatorio submarino, que realmente vale la pena, porque es como estar buceando a 10 metros de profundidad, pero detrás de una ventana.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day. It was great to sit back and enjoy the scenery and commentary on the way. The smaller bus was brand new and very comfortable. Highly recommend this tour

Thank you Fiordland Jet. A great way to spend an afternoon with entertaining hosts and jet boating with all the bells and whistles. I would thoroughly recommend.

Lex was our guide full of knowledge of the area. Great guide and plenty ? f photos. All the staff couldn't do enough to help well worth the 5 stars

This is a must do for Kiwis

Absolutely wonderful. Personal touch and fabulous service. An amazing experience for my birthday. Thanks Adam & Anja. highly recommended.

Super friendly guide and easy to talk to. Fun and full of informations trip from Te Anu to Milford. Small group which allowed us to stop at lookouts , short walking tracks and beautiful locations on our way to Milford. During the cruise we saw dolphins and sea lions, rainbows and waterfalls. Magical sunny day in Firodland

Two outstanding days. Both trips exceeded expectations. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, combined with safe, clean vessels made for a memorable couple of days.

We went on a true winter's day. Manapouri was dark and moody but the bus ride over was magical through all the native bush while it snowed. Doubtful sound was outstanding despite or because of the weather and the silence experience was great. The ride back over the pass in much heavier snow was fantastic. Full Mark's to the driver Eve. Might have been a hard year so far but that was an experience we would not have had if it hadn't been for NZers being encouraged to explore their own country

A lovely, unique experience - beautiful locations, the crew were professional & friendly, afternoon tea was great, and the boat has a very interesting history (I won’t spoil it)! It was so nice to hoist the sails and stop the engine for bit, taking in the beauty and peace of the surrounds on the way back. Nice to know we’re supporting a local company run by lovely people too. Would very happily go again!

Fabulous experience Amazing nature guided walk Amazing hospitality Awesome Hidden lake Awesome weather and Fiordland national park Good customer service Recommend to everyone

it was really wonderful time to cruise in lake Te Anau. George and Max were really gentle warm kind friendly and etc, they always treated us and explained lots about the lake. their The Faith was beautiful sailing ship which took us to south fiord. then we could see many beautiful scenery. and i shouldn't forget to tell about taking beautiful bluch with morning tea. that cruising is one of my unforgettable moment for good. thanks George and Max.

This cruise was a joy from start to finish! A wonderful, relaxing day, from when we were warmly welcomed aboard, till when we departed after a day full of beautiful views, delectable canapés, refreshing beverages & friendly chats with the crew. I would recommend this trip as one not to be missed. Thank you Faith in Fiordland.

The Faith is a beautiful vintage yacht that Adam and George bought and restored. They keep the tours at a small size so that they can interact with everyone onboard rather than blast information over a loudspeaker. If you ask, Adam might play the bagpipes and George the accordion. We did the morning tea cruise, and I imagine their other tours follow a similar format (all on the same boat). The tour was far less touristed than other trips in the area. It consisted of: 40 minute boat ride 30 minute light hike and tour of the Hidden Lakes (informative, and gorgeous) 30 minute morning tea (catered by a local cafe, with both drinks and food) 40 minute trip back Thanks for an amazing trip run and owned by locals!

George and Adam were wonderful, full of history and information about the area. They took good care of us and we enjoyed every minute! Thanks so much.

Our journey with Trips and Tramps was very enjoyable. Would highly recommend Mitre Peak cruises and Trips and Tramps to our friends and family.

This trip was one of the most amazing day trips I have ever done. The service was impeccable, the food was yum and it was an all round delightlful day out sailing on Faith. We will definitely be back again!!!

Incredible VIP experience. Clear sky and calm water so I sailed the ship! Unforgettable experience guided by an experienced crew. Also they provide some food and good beer (or wine, or juice your choice) !

very relaxing, great crew great snacks great drinks!! lovely boat, enjoyed every minute of the trip

What a wonderful way to spend the day! Ross was a fantastic tour guide. There were many stops to stretch our legs and take gorgeous photos. The cruise itself was great too. We got to get splashed with water from one of the waterfalls! The cruise boat also leaves early so it feels really peaceful on the water.
