Perfect drive and cruise to Milford Sound but I really want to give a shootout to the guide!!! (forgot your name sorry) He teached a lot to us from the history of the "Sound" to the vegetation of the area and some hiking stories. I really liked the fact that I could learn so much about the Fiordland and Te Anau in such a short time, aside to the cruise in the Milford Sound.
Thanks for your your wonderful review. Geoff was your guide and he sure knows his stuff about Te Anau and Fiordland. I will pass your review onto him. Enjoy the rest of your travels. Jill
From the moment we started the trip, it was a fantastic experience. Douglas was a phenomenal tour guide. He told us many interesting things about the area, spotted all kinds of birds for us along the way and took us on a number of walks. By the time we reached the boat, everyone on the trip was in agreement that we'd already gotten WAY more than we'd paid for! The cruise of Doubtful Sound was of course tremendous. Our sail went on Go Orange, where they had great coffee and even included fish and chips. (Other ships did not include food – even our guide was thrown by this – so if you haven't paid for your picnic lunch add-on be sure to bring one.) Other members of our tour went on a different ship and seemed similarly happy. We felt well taken care of by Douglas and felt like he actually cared about us as people. The tour felt more like a knowledgeable friend-of-a-friend letting you in on their favorite places to go than a cookie-cutter bus tour. I would absolutely go again, on this or anything else Trips and Tramps was offering.
What a lovely review, thank you! Douglas is a amazing guide and knows the area so well, we will be sure to let him know you appreciated the day with him.

Fabulous trip!
A fabulous trip! Lots of stops to enjoy the views and take pictures on the way. It was lovely not to have to worry about anything. Our tour guide, Steve, was fun and informative. We orders the lunch and highly recommend it as it was delicious. Milford Sound was amazing and the views during the cruise were spectacular.
