The pick up from Te Anau was on time and no stress with plenty of free street parking available. The bus was clean, roomy and very comfortable. Our guide/driver Keith made the whole trip even more enjoyable with his commentaries and easygoing nature. Appreciated his courteous and gentle driving (no one got car sick ). I am not sure which one was more exciting ; the journey to the pier or the boat ride itself ! Both were excellent experience! NZ is so beautiful!! Buffet lunch onboard exceeded my expectations with quality ingredients and variety.
Great day, beautiful scenery, money well spent
So pleased we didn’t drive as the bus we were in had glass ceiling so the views were amazing our driver Shey was enthusiastic with some great stories about the area, the boat trip around the Fiord was great some beautiful water falls and scenery and again the information about the area was very interesting. I would like to comment about the price as a lot of these type of trips for New Zealanders should have a local rate as there are so many things to see in our own back yard that we just can’t afford.
We really enjoyed our bus trip to Milford Sound to enjoy a buffet lunch and boat cruise. The scenery is amazing. Pity it was raining but we will back on a beautiful sunny day to do it all again!

Beautiful experience!
Relatively seamless experience and such a beautiful area to visit. Buffet was a nice touch and glad we got good enough weather to take the plane back to Queenstown.
