Ein absolutes Highlight unserer Reise

Vorab online gebucht - Voucher Umtausch am Morgen war einfach und schnell am Schalter. Die kleineren Boote fanden wir super. Interessante Infos vom Kapitän während der Tour. Die Tour war ein Highlight unserer NZ Reise.

Die beste Milford Sound Cruise

Wir sind so froh mit Mitre Peak Cruise gefahren zu sein. Es ist mit Abstand das kleinste Schiff und dadurch konnten wir so nah a die Felsen ran. An Board gab es auch warme Getränke und der Captain hat uns immer informiert was wir gerade sehen können :-)

Milford Sound

Ich würde diese Tour immer wieder machen, klare Empfehlung von mir. Wir haben dank der Aufmerksamkeit des Kapitäns Delfine und Robben sehen können. An einem Wasserfall waren wir so dicht dran, dass wir das kalte Nass auf der Haut spüren konnten. Einfach wunderbar ☺️

Tolle Tour

Wir standen ganz vorne auf dem kleinem Boot, so konnten wir alles hautnah erfahren, wurden aber auch nass. Es gibt nicht viele Außenplätze, vorne vielleicht 10 und hinten 20, dazwischen liegt der Innenfahrraum. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen.
