Great experience!!

The mitre peak cruises is the smaller boat than the other companies, however I’ve find out that it made me come closer to the fall and have and excellent experience. Five star recommended.

Sweet and personable

I took the trip advisor advice and took the small boat cruise with Mitre Peak Cruises and it paid off! It felt personable, fewer people for sure. Boat got real close to the cliffs and able to feel mist from the waterfall . Kahu ( the skipper) gets 10/10 for great commentary and for spotting the wildlife ( seals, penguins in and out of water) and a pod of dolphin’s - a memory for keepsakes! Leo the other crewmen was very engaging and provided great facts despite initially translating for a French couple! Leo offered and took many photos for all customers!! Thanks Kahu and Leo for making it a magical trip for us!!

Ka pai Milford Sound tour

Loved the boat and facilities on board. Big windows meant excellent viewing from anywhere. Perfect pronounciation of kupu maori because re reo maori is so beautiful when pronounced properly. Nice to see efforts to present both English and Maori histories because our knowledge is broadened and enhanced. Miharo rawa atu. Mauri ora.
