    A wonderful tour of Milford Sound. Stephen gave us a great description of all the places on the way to the boat, and regaled us with great stories. The boat ride was amazing; we saw seals, a penguin, and close up views of the waterfalls. We opted for lunch, which was tasty and very generous. Highly recommend this tour for an awesome day.

    Great tour to do for the day! We liked going in a smaller group. We stopped at lots of beautiful places on the way there. Our guide considered the weather so we would have the best views and experience. We got to Milford Sound before the Queenstown day trippers did so it was nice and quiet. We were one of the first boats on the water. The cruise is wonderful, getting up close with beautiful views and some nice commentary and info. Would highly recommend this tour from Te Anau

  • Will definitely recommend to others
