Barbara N3.0Mar 2024A long way to drive for a very short boat ride. We were crammed in a boat with a lot of people, stuck in a line for our meal, which was just mediocre food. You have a tray of food, no where to walk, reserved seats all around you by the windows, nowhere to sit - it was awkward and annoying. Boat trip was going on while trying to get food, so you could not look out and see things. So many people and nothing special. It was pretty, mountains are steep, but it went by so fast. Captain mumbled and you couldnât understand everything he was saying, just some words here and there. None of the servers at the meal looked happy or like they wanted to serve you - more like they were annoyed you were there. For how long you drive to get there, they should make this ride out in the sound longer and more special, make it worth the trip - I would not do this one again.Awesome
Sheila M5.0Feb 2024The captain was both informative and funny. He added a lot to the experience!! We would recommend this tour to anyone who is in the area. It was amazing!Missed our trip.
WenGinn T3.0Feb 2024Cruise location and parking location has an about 10 minutes walking distance, you also need to pay parking fee by input your car license plate. Also when approaching Mildford Sound state route 94 has a little traffic. Trip description didnât remind people about this, we missed our 1:15 PM buffet trip. If you are the first time to come to this tour, plan your trip at least 45 minutes ahead before the tour begin.Great scenery - great...
James H5.0Jan 2024Great scenery - great employees! The boat was clean and the captain got right up close to waterfalls!! Had a great time
