  Absolutely stunning views. Have no words to express this beautiful boat ride which captures the essence of New Zealand. I wish it was not raining while our bus was driving towards it so that we could make more stops to capture some beautiful scenery in our camera.

  Take a rain jacket. Although they say there is a toilet on the bus, they won’t let you use it. It rained the entire day, which made for many spectacular water falls.

• Glacial waterfalls one must see

  It’s one of those places that’s a must visit. We were lucky to be going on a day with hundreds of waterfall yet the weather has improved for us to be on the deck of the cruise.

  Good parts: Pick up was easy - maybe because it’s a quieter period but we knew we were booked with Great Sights and there was only one of those coach’s there at Te anau. Driver (Richard) was incredible, chatting the whole way down and very clear. Cruise was amazing, everything you could hope for and once again the guide was amazing. No spoilers but if you’re thinking of doing it, go for it!!! Just be prepared for some disorganisation. Bad parts: It’s such a shame to write this as simple fixes could make this 5 stars. 1) If you’re getting picked up at Te anau be prepared that most of the seats on the coach will already be taken from people getting on at Queenstown - understandable but simply having seat reservations would fix disappointment or finding it difficult to choose a seat. Also not having reservations meant people were rushing to try and get a good seat or would complain if “their” seat was taken. 2) Whilst we clearly booked to have a picnic lunch included we were informed that they had already confirmed lunches at Queenstown with only those people who were getting on there. Basically meaning anyone getting on a Te anau was left out. Luckily we had seen bad reviews about this so had packed some snacks just incase - I’m not an IT expert but it should be pretty simple to add who is or isn’t having food on the list of names given to the driver on the printed document (based on what level of tour they booked). Did feel disorganised and confused at times. Conclusion: Amazing experience, just need some better management, admin and organisational skills (all pretty essential for a tour operator). Really hope these issues are sorted for future guests.
