Tour great, van not so great

A journey in 3 parts; by van, boat and plane. Our morning started out with the 5 hour or so drive to the Sound. I really enjoyed the views during our drive to Milford Sound and the several stops along the way let us stretch our legs and backs as the van was very cramped. Our guide, was high energy and was really excited about New Zealand - so it was fun and informative journey in that sense. However, the vans are not very comfortable. I think we had 15 or 16 in the vehicle and the seating was not pleasant. I was so happy when we got to Milford Sound. The cruise of the Sound was amazing. It was the absolute highlight of our trip to New Zealand. I’m so glad I had the experience. We ended up flying back which I would highly recommend. It’s a great way to see this part of New Zealand. Our van driver suggested it and we had perfect weather to accommodate a flight. I still think it’s a 5 star excursion because it really is an experience of a lifetime. I would not want to make this drive on my own and the guide really did a good job keeping us entertained along the way.
Amazing day trip

The view was amazing along the whole journey. Sonia was professional and very helpful. I loved the music she played and the story she told. It’s lovely in a small group tour.
Beautiful

Matt, our driver was absolutely fabulous and safely took us on a very long journey to Milford sound. We stopped along the way and had some interesting insights into the area. The weather was a bit drizzly, but we loaded up onto the boutique boat and had the most incredible sites and a picnic lunch. Thank you so much Matt.
