    We really enjoyed this tour. You are on the bus a couple times for a while, but the scenery is very nice. The boat rides were spectacular with some of the most beautiful outdoor scenes I have ever seen. Our Milford tour got canceled due to weather, but we have been told that this is truly the best of the sound tours, just a little harder to get to. Recommend this tour highly!

    Absolutely beautiful! We loved the entire experience, it was absolutely stunning. We had mixed weather, but that meant we saw beautiful rainbows and waterfalls as well. We got to see some seals napping out near the sea. Definitely recommend! Even the bus ride is filled with stunning views.
