    Martin was our tour guide, he was friendly, informative and kept us all informed as to what we were seeing as we drove to Milford Sound. Being a smaller bus he was able to stop at places larger buses can’t so we saw some amazing sights. The cruise and scenery was awesome, the only downside being a lack of rain prior to our visit so the waterfalls were a bit sparse. The provided picnic lunch was also very good.

  • Best way to do Milford

    Weather wise, it was not the best day ever, but that was made up for with our excellent tour guide and the small size of the tour group. While other tours were on giant busses, this one was our family and four other people. It was lovely! The guide was very well informed, and offered us a recommendation for a hike the next day that was absolutely spectacular, and a hidden gem! I would also add, the tour guide was really great with our kids too!
