5.00A 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.
