Scenic Milford Sound

We chose VIP Milford as they have smaller coaches, you don’t feel so rushed and the smaller vehicle allows access to different stop-offs. We travelled in convoy just after the roads re-opened due to the flooding as only buses and coaches had access to Milford Sound. Buffet lunch on the boat was good with reserved tables, although the boat was busy. An amazing day on the road and water.

As a smaller company we do our best to give our guests a relaxed day out where they can enjoy the surroundings with out all the hassles of the road (especially since the road is now not in the best condition). We are thrilled you enjoyed your day out with us. Kind regards VIP Milford Team :)
