5.0What a great tour! So many awesome sights to see. It was really nice to be in a small group, and Hari, our guide was excellent. Funny and informative. The fact that we had perfect weather made it even better. Highly recommend.

5.0Our tour guide, Hari, was friendly, fun, and extremely knowledgeable. The six of us enjoyed every minute of our small group experience (just 14 people) with him in Fiordland. He was so thoughtful in his stops and timing to get us the best views and least crowded experiences. Don’t miss this opportunity to not only take the Milford Sound cruise, but also explore the gorgeous rainforest with an expert on the flora and fauna. It’s was awesome! Thanks, Hari.
Terrific experiences all...

5.0A very interesting and fun day! Our tour guide and driver, Roo (Andrew), was fabulous, and really made the day! He was full of factoids and stories ao we got lots of interesting info as we drove. We stopped many times along the 3-ish hour drive to and from Milford and saw waterfalls, enchanted forests, and mountain passes. The boat cruise through Milford Sound was lovely. Even the weather didn’t cooperate, we still enjoyed seeing the seals, birds and waterfalls along the way from the boat. Overall, a super great tour!
Amazing guide!
