And then the clouds parted….

5.00So much packed into a single day. Rainforest, incredible scenery and then parting clouds in Milford Sound to reveal breathtaking beauty. The tour was well organized and punctual and did an excellent job of handling varying weather conditions. We were first greeted in the morning with reusable water bottles filled with delightfully chilled water. Our guide Murray had entertaining info and stories throughout the day. It was so nice to sit back and soak in the beauty leaving the driving in his capable hands. Highly recommend Luxe Tours and a thoughtful and friction-free day. Reserved seating on the boat and coffee/teas and muffin mid morning weee nice touches. We had many stops along the way -each one of beauty and interest. This is a classy and professional outfit!!!

5.00Comfortable vehicle and very personable and humorous driver / co-guide. The stops were all memorable as well as the cruise itself. The picnic by the river with huge muffins and coffee was a bonus. Definitely recommend this tour if you prefer to relax and enjoy the journey to/from Milford sound without the worry of driving, finding the best stops and parking/timing the arrival at Milford Sound.
A great trip!

5.00This was the most comfortable excursion mini-van of my trip with thoughtful extras such as charging stations, towels, and water bottles. What I loved was stopping every 15 to 30 minutes to get out and experience the gorgeous landscape rather than just viewing through the window. Our guide was Murray, and he was entertaining, friendly, and helpful. Truly a memorable day.
