Our day yo Milford Sound was amazing. Benjamin our driver from Southern Discoveries was very knowledgeable about the south island, how it was formed, fables, and early settlers. He was able to answer many of our questions and stopped often for photo ops! The cruise was amazing and included a buffet lunch. The captain explained many of the formations of the sound. Such a beautiful place. I will never forget it!

Milford Sound is beautiful. The check-in was flawless. Our bus driver Stan was the best and he was very informative along the ride. The only negative I have about the trip was the onboard buffet. The buffet food was very below par and I would rate it a ONE.

This was an amazing trip. Definitely worth doing. The views from both the bus and the boat were incredible. We would recommend sitting on the right hand side of the bus from Queenstown and on the left hand side on the boat for the best views. We were a little bit disappointed with the commentary on the bus, we had hoped for more information on the local sites, history and wildlife but there was a good commentary on the boat. The picnic lunch was good and offered more than we had expected.

Our Coach driver Greg added so much to the drive out to Milford and the staff on the boat were all very energetic and focused on making everything fun
