Enjoyed by us all

Daughters and I drove to Milford Sound for the cruise, allowing time to stop at a few of the many scenic spots along the way. Cruise was fantastic, informative, well paced. Weather was misty and magical, don't not go if rain or cloud forecast. Hot chocolate after the waterfall immersion was perfect. We got a free car park at Deepwater Rd so was glad we had rain jackets for a wet walk back, about 20 minutes from terminal.

Awesome and comfortable

Great boat, plenty of seating - very stable cruise considering it was raining and very windy. Amenities are tidy and staff are very friendly!

Waterfalls

What a cruise. It was very wet. We thought it might be pretty average. How wrong were we. The waterfalls were out of this world. The Sounds were awe inspiring. The crew were very knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone on board were walking around with huge smiles on their faces. The captain led a happy birthday song for my brother's 60th birthday where the passengers all joined in. What a fantastic day. Thanks.
