  Staff knowledge and skills in manoeuvring vessel into the best position to take photo's and to experience the sounds at their best was incredible. Loved every minute of experience, would thoroughly recommend to everyone to experience with this organisation.

  Wonderful day cruising through the majestic mountains and pristine waters of Milford Sound. Our nature guide Ida was very engaging and kept us entertained as she educated us about this beautiful part of the world. We also loved the smaller boat for a more personalised experience. Highly recommend.

• Great views of Milford Sound

  Very informative guides and a great trip out to the mouth of the sound and back. Whilst there were a lot of people on board, it didn't feel overcrowded. Very easy booking process and we were able to change our cruise time as we arrived earlier than expected and the team were more than happy to accommodate. The free tea and coffee and water is an added benefit and plenty of paid food options were available as well. Would definitely recommend this experience.

  The ride through the Milford tunnel was an experience. Once there you should go to the far end of the parking lot for the cruise terminal. It had rained that morning so the waterfalls were amazing. The captain pointed out many beautiful spots. Was definitely worth the ride.

  Excellent experience. Arrived very early for cruise as traffic quiet. Quickly moved to an earlier cruise and jumped on board. Not busy. Weather not the best but still atmospheric. Information from Captain was extremely detailed and thorough. Was able to revise my geographical terminology with ease!! A worthwhile expedition.

  Great way to see Milford Sound with no hassle. Bus was on time. Peter gave a commentary the whole bus journey. Very informative with some humour too. Very busy road so bus means you see far more as you journey there. Boat ride was very smooth and again informative. Fantastic weather so we got right out to the Tasmin Sea. Definitely recommend

  Milford sound was really extraordinary experience! The captain of our boat was very kind and gave us some details and info of the scenery and things we saw. 2 hours boat ride was really enough and effective. Really recommend!

  Boat offered ample space for everyone. Tour lasted only 1:40 h. Didn't go as far as the open sea. Announcements from the captain due to the speed of speech and the slang are hard for us to understand. Milford but a must! Just the road there. I don't know if it has to be this provider.

• Beautiful bus, beautiful scenery, beautiful time on the water.

  4.85 rating. The glass roof bus was beautiful! The one way trip did not seem like 5 hours. Amazing to have overhead views. Really appreciated the USB ports. I would advise all passengers to have a hat with a brim. There are no shades on the bus and the sun is everywhere as you're riding along. A hat helps blocks the sun. The stops were great along the way. Be advised that there is no parking lot available and on street parking is very limited. It would have been nice to know this in advance. The transition from motorcoach to boat, and vice versa, was seamless. I don't know that it was announced about how to download the translation narration. There was a non-English speaking family that seemed a bit lost. I recommend the trip and the glass roof bus. My understanding is that it was only 3 months old.

  I visited in mid february as a solo traveler. I did not purchase tickets ahead and was lucky to find one for sale at the counter. The cruise lasted just shy of 2 hours and included great commentary that was both historic and comical as well as the opportunity to see the beautiful landscapes as well as wildlife. On my cruise we saw a whale, dolphins and seals. Be mindful these cruises operated in most mild weather including rain and wind. It was raining on my cruise - but I think it added to the overall experience and made it better. I recommend snagging a seat upstairs on the outside deck early so you have front row camera spots. My tour was narrated in English and there were park lunches and cafe items for sale. There were many friendly staff members able to take your photo as you go along which was helpful as a solo traveler. They were all very kind.
