5.00We went to Milford Sound on our Wild Kiwi trip with Siobhan. Despite the very long travel day Siobhan still managed to make it super fun for the group, and let us stop off to take photos at scenic stops. Siobhan is one of the best tour guides I’ve had, she’s so friendly and knowledgeable, she really feels part of the group!

5.00Travelled with Wild kiwi tour group. Had an amazing experience at Milford sound, life changing waterfalls and mountain's, a must go while in New Zealand. We had a chance to stop along the way at some beautiful spots and learn about New Zealand’s landscape and history thanks to Siobhan our guide. Only advice I would give is definitely bring a change of clothes, you can get very wet out there on the water! Have so much fun, and go with Wild Kiwi!
A must-do experience!

5.00Had the best day on this tour with Siobhan. She was an excellent guide with lots of knowledge about milford and the fiordlands and how they were formed. The drive to milford was very scenic and we stopped at a nice cafe on the way- perfect to grab lunch and take with you on the boat. The boat tour was incredible even in the rain. Definitely recommend!
Traveled with our tour group Wild Kiwi and our guide Siobhan. Stunning views! Just make sure to pack your rain clothes!
