밀포드 사운드

밀포드 사운드의 경험은 좋았습니다 하지만 너무 기대를 하고 가서 그런지 생각보다는 기대에 미치지 못한 것 같더군요 생각보다 시간이 짧았고 별다른 이벤트가 없었습니다 한국어 안내가 있었으면 더 좋았을 것 같았네요 전체적으로 좋은 경험 이었습니다

선상에서의 관광

식권 교환을 제대로 안내해주면 좋았을텐데, 승선 후 2층 매점에서 교환해야됩니다. 이점 빼고는 다 마음에 들었습니다

신비스런 Milford Sound 여행

Milford Sound를 두번 가보았는데 두번 모두 비가 오는 날이네요. 그래서 그런지 폭포의 물이 넘쳐 흐르는 모습은 정말로 장관입니다. Milford Sound Nature Cruise로 쉽게 예약을 하고 즐거운 여행을 할 수 있었습니다. 감사를 드립니다.^^

밀포드사운드에 오시면 크루즈 꼭 타세요!

밀포드사운드에서 평화홉고 아름다운 시간을 보냈어요! 우리가 탄 배는 다른 여행사 보다 좀 더 큰 배라서 안정적이고 경치 구경하기도 더 좋았어요! 그리고 예약시간보다 3시간이나 일찍 도착해버려서 혹시 배 시간을 변경해줄 수 있는지 물어봤는데, 매우 친절하게 바꿔주셨어요 😄 이 여행사에서 예약하시는 걸 추천합니다 😄

단 한번의 경험_꿈같은 밀포드사운드

뉴질랜드 남섬에서 꼭 가야할 곳, 밀포드사운드에 사우턴디스커버리 크루즈를 Bookme에서 예약하였습니다. 가격에서 만족스러운 경험이었습니다. 우리는 운좋게도 돌고래도 보았으며 물개바위에서 다수의 물개도 만났습니다. 전날과 아침에 빗방울이 떨어져서인지 풍부한 수량의 폭포와 무지개도 너무 아름다웠습니다. 대체로 만족스러운 경험이었습니다. 다만 RealNZ 크루즈가 바다 저멀리까지 항해하는 것이 눈이 보이는데 우리의 크루즈는 50미터 정도 덜 항해하는 것에 대해 모두 아쉬워했습니다. 그러나 그 타이밍에 우리는 멋진 돌고래 가족을 만날 수 있어서 다행이었습니다. 폭포에 가까이 가는 체험과 선장의 스팟 설명도 멋졌습니다. 다음에 다시 밀포드사운드에 간다면 바닷가 멀리 나가는 크루즈를 선택할 것 같습니다.
