  This was far and away our favorite experience in New Zealand. Jason was an incredible guide with Fiordland Tours. Along our drive to our Milford Sound Cruise, we stopped in a handful of the most stunning locations I've ever seen. We had our morning coffee and tea along with homemade muffins along a creek in a lupine field overlooking the mountains, and on the way home, we hiked to a waterfall and filled our water bottles directly from the river. Jason was happy to answer our questions, share recommendations with us, and share his expertise. We loved hearing his stories throughout our exploration, and he took great photos of us to help us remember our trip. I can't recommend Fiordland Tours enough. We were in a smaller van (16 of us in total) as opposed to a huge tourbus, which allowed for a much more intimate, relaxed, and responsive experience. Jason was flexible with our tour, switching around our stops so we wouldn't be in overly crowded locations, and allowing for time to search for wildlife. We were also on a smaller cruise ship- big enough that we didn't get seasick but small enough that you had space on the upper deck to get close to waterfalls and have a spectacular view. We also had a fabulous packed lunch- a sandwich, fruit, a chocolate bar, juice, coffee, and cheese and crackers. We stayed in Manapouri which was a quick 15 minute drive from Te Anau- we were able to meet up with the tourbus in the morning and easily park for free for the day.

  Te Anau is the perfect place to visit Milford Sound from. Take the tour rather than drive. It’s so much more relaxing and everything is organised for you. Take the lunch option to!

• Amazing experience !

  Stephen was a brilliant tour guide, very knowledgeable and a great storyteller! I would definitely recommend a tour over driving yourself. We also had the option to do a helicopter tour which we took and landed on a glacier. So cool! Remember to bring very warm clothes as it can be cold and windy on the boat even if it’s sunny

  We had a fabulous sunny day in the Fiordlands! The Milford Sound tour delivered on all fronts. Our guide, Jason, checked in with everyone to make sure our needs were met. He explained the itinerary thoroughly and highlighted numerous points of interest. We loved having such an intimate group experience! It was worth every penny!

• A NZ trip highlight

  Fantastic tour and incredible guide! Sacha was so knowledgeable, kind, and clearly had so much passion for what she does. Tour hit on all the highlights to/from Te Anau to Milford, and gave ample opportunity to stop as needed along the way. A New Zealand trip highlight!
