Amazing day in Milford Sound! We loved our bus driver/our boat Captain and our pilot. Everything was very special and beyond expectations. Well worth the time and money to go and experience and I would to the drive/boat/fly trip again.

Trip starts off with a lovely bus tour with loads of information about the area and history. Being a small bus you get closer and more places the big busses can't. Lots of lovely stops on the way and a highlight was the local birds. Also get a lovely lunch from a local provider. The cruise was amazing with lots of amazing views and wildlife like the seals. You get close up to the waterfalls so pack a raincoat. The absolute best was the flight back which we were fortunate the weather was clear. Well worth the money with unbelievable views of the mountains and our pilot gave us lots of commentary along the way. Overall our highlight of our trip to New Zealand, all the guides were amazing and only thing we'd say is bring a power bank for your phone as there are too many chances to take videos and photos

This is an excellent tour to visit some amazing locations, a perfect choice for a full day while in Queenstown. We got to see a lot of spectacular scenery, lots of wild animals like birds, dolphins, seals, penguins, from the bus, the boat and the plane. You have the option to return by bus or by plane but as the bus take the same road back home, we took the flight back which is around 40min. You won't regret to see those mountains and entire landscapes from above! Highly recommended!

The shuttle was clean and warm. Our tour operator, Ted, was amazing. He was expedient, knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Ted helped us identify the kea parrots and the pepper tree. He provided adequate time at each stop. The cruise went by really fast. There's so much to see. Ask for Ted!!

The most beautiful scenery in all of South Island NZ! That is saying a lot since every vista is beautiful. Let the tour company do the driving, it is safer and more relaxing!
