    Really incredible trip! We took the bus (a comfortable sprinter van) there, then the plane home after the cruise on the sound. I felt better knowing that if the weather turned bad, they’d have the van there to drive us home. It was definitely the right order to do it in, because our guide Tommy made several scenic stops on the way in and shared a ton of knowledge that enhanced our experience in the sound.

  • Absolutely Beautiful and a must do

    Tommy our tour guide was awesome. The best tour ever. The most beautiful places in the world you will see. The flight back to Queenstown did get canceled due to weather but they told us ahead of time that was a possibility. We were refunded for that portion of the tour quickly. Want come back was so beautiful!!!

    From morning until evening, this was a nature-lover’s dream. The ride in the Sprinter was very comfortable, and the scenery was fabulous. James did a great job narrating our journey with information that gave me an even greater appreciation of the area. The fiord itself was breathtaking, and seeing it closeup on the boat was stunning. I highly recommend this tour company.
