Worth the money. Beautiful cruise though the fjord with narrative about the geology, wildlife, and history.
A must on your travels to see this amazingly beautiful piece of paradise!

You have to have this on your bucket list - rated as the 8th Wonder of the World! It's towering peaks, beautiful waterfalls, millions of years of glacier formation takes your breath away. We saw seals sunning on a rock, and a pod of dolphins . It's so Jurassic like and so unspoilt
Beautiful Milford Sound Experience

It was a lovely day out at Milford. Very long drive from Queenstown but absolutely worth it. Do wish it was raining to see the waterfalls, but still beautiful. A bit crowded on the popular view points, but not overwhelming at allll. Nice and informative staff. The one thing is when we arrived and I clicked on my voucher that I received from Viator it wouldn’t pull up. When I went on the Viator app it said my experience was canceled. This caused panic but I just checked in with RealNZ and our info was on there. Don’t know why this happened but something to note. Anyways, would definitely recommend RealNZ! Great value for the money

Beautifully maintained older styled boat. Would have to be the pick of the boats at Milford. Perfect sunny day and would now need a trip following the rain to see the difference.
