Amazing experience
I would highly recommend this adventure. Was a highlight for us both. The bus trip was so informative and full of laughter. The boat trip blew our minds, the staff, the kai and the views were breathtaking.

Fantastic experience!
This was worth every penny! Beautiful picturesque scenery - no camera can capture the beauty IMO. Stan, our tour guide was an amazing host, so friendly and knowledgeable on the area. The boat cruise was just as good with stunning views. Saw a couple of seals and a dolphin! Food was delicious and what you’d expect from a buffet. It was ready as soon as we got on the boat, perfect after a 5 hour drive. Definitely a must do at least once!

Great day out
Our driver Greig was great! Very knowledgeable of the route and photo opportunities. Very professional and a great driver despite the sound system not working for commentary.

See your own COUNTRY first
We travelled from Queenstown to Milford Sound VIA TE ANAU and once we left TE ANAU the scenery became just spectacular as we headed towards Milford Sound. Having a glass roof was amazing as you just looked up to the mountains towering above you on both sides of the road. And the Homer tunnel was just as they had made it all those years ago carved out of solid rock not like tunnels today. Milford Sound was amazing as we had a beatiful day and we still got to see the spectacular waterfalls it is known for. Definitely recommend this excursion
