Journee a milford sounds

Une grosse journee de 13h (5h de route aller et retour + 1h30 de bateau sur le fiord) vers milford sound avec de tres beaux paysages, arrets pour photos ou café/pipi. Chauffeur sympa, bus equipé de wc, bateau avec possibilité d’achat de repas du midi (non compris dans le prix du voyage...!), toit terrasse sur le bateau avec jolie vue. Les moins: aucune difference avec les tours organisés non « premium », meme parcours ou arret ou place sur le bateau que n’importe qui d’autre, commentaires en anglais uniquement probablement très instructifs...? Pas de traduction multilangue contrairement à l’annonce. Pourquoi payer plus cher donc?

Bien

J'avais choisi cette excursion car vendue comme étant en petit groupe.... Pas du tout. Le bus était grand et plein. Difficile de profiter de la quiétude du lieu quand on est sur un grand bateau entouré de groupes de touristes nombreux et bruyants. Le guide était en revanche très sympa et très drôle. Je ne recommande pas pour autant.

Une journée plaisante / A great day

J'ai vraiment apprécié la journée, le chauffeur était sympathique et nous avons eu l'occasion de nous arrêter sur le trajet pour admirer les paysages. La croisière étaient tout aussi merveilleuse ! Par ailleurs, très bon rapport qualité prix. A faire, sans hésiter ! / It was such a pleasure, the driver was nice and we've stopped a couple times to see some beautiful landscape. Then the cruise was also splendid! Overall, very good price-quality ratio. I would recommend it without any hesitation!

Awesome Honeymoon Experience

Mr. Greg was our driver for this Coach and Cruise tour through Southern Discoveries. He was quite funny and extremely knowledgeable about the area. The bus was comfortable and there were enough stops that it didn't feel boring (on the way back I think the whole bus was asleep haha). Milford is stunning and I would highly recommend this tour - it even came with the buffet lunch which was quite exciting. Can't beat this deal! Thank you, Mr. Greg and Southern Discoveries for a magical day!
