Great commentary and knowledgeable driver. Stopped at great places so we could take snap shots of places and even volunteered to take our photos. A very safe driver- Keith. Thanks so much for this awesome experience.

Nice to sit back and let someone else drive you there and back. Hassle free. Beautiful day. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing scenery, we learned so much on the drive out, our coach driver was awesome and made the trip, the milford sound boat tour was incredible but could have been longer, we didnt see many animals on our trip but it was still well worth it.

Smooth coach ride from Te Anau. Driver Paul was a fount of maori knowledge. Lovely sunny day on the boat. Excellent buffet. Scenery is just stunning. Terrific fun day out.

The bus driver was great with info, scenic stops, and safety. 5 stars for him. Giving a four overall because for the 830 Queenstown/1130 te anau departure you don’t get your picnic lunch until 330pm on the boat. Hard to eat outside with the wind but you are hungry because it’s 330. So bring your own lunch!!
