Wonderful ?

Es war ein kleiner Bus und unser Fahrer war richtig nett und hat vieles erklärt. Wir haben auch Pausen gemacht für Fotos und WC. Und es kam nie der Eindruck auf das Zeitdruck bestehen würde, was mir bei solchen Touren immer wichtig ist. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen!

Sehr empfehlenswert

Diese Tagestour lohnt sich sehr. Der Fahrer (Justin) war super und hat uns sehr viel Informationen geben können. Auch die Schiffstour im beeindruckenden Milford Sound war unterhaltsam und wirklich angenehm.

Auch bei Regenwetter ein Erlebnis

Wir wurden morgens pünktlich von unserem enthusiastischen und freundlichen Busfahrer Stephen an unsere Unterkunft abgeholt. Der Minibus von Milford VIP war luxeriös, bequem und nur mit 10 Personen besetzt. Stephen hat uns auf der 2 stündigen Fahrt viel über die Geschichte der Milford Road, die Besiedlung, die Flora und vor allem die Vogelwelt erzählt - verdeutlicht durch ein Tablet mit Bildern und zusätzlichen Informationen das herum gereicht wurde. Gegen 10 Uhr kamen wir in Milford Sound an und sind direkt auf das Schiff gegangen - den Milford Wonderer. Auf dem sehr großen und stolzen Schiff selbst waren mit uns nur 17 Personen und damit viel Platz zum Stehen, sitzen, fotografieren und mehr oder weniger ungestört den Sound zu bewundern. Der livekommentar war zwar zum Teil ein wenig schwierig zu verstehen, aber sehr informativ. Die Fahrt selbst hat 2.5h gedauert und war trotz kurzem Regenschauer sehr beeindruckend. Auf der Rückfahrt mit Stephen haben wir dann noch zahlreiche Zwischenstopp gemacht und sind gegen 15.30 Uhr wieder an unserer Unterkunft angekommen.

Ausgezeichnet

Der Busfahrer war super nett und hat alle Fragen beantwortet und sehr viel interessantes während der Busfahrt erzählt. Wir hatten zahlreiche Fotostops und zwei Stops für einen kleinen Walk. Die Milford Sound Nature Cruise war atemberaubend und die Crew war super nett! Sehr zu empfehlen.

Großartig

Der Trip hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir waren nur eine kleine Gruppe, wurden von unserem Busfahrer John sehr gut und freundlich betreut und konnten auch Wünsche äußern, wo wir gerne anhalten würden. Ich würde wieder buchen
