5.00This was a great day! It was an early start, but so worth it to see all the amazing sights on the way to Milford Sound! There are lots of stops for great beautiful views, and our guide provided great information along the way. On the fjord cruise, the lunch was really good. It was truly beautiful, unlike anything we’ve seen in our lifetime. We also got to see some waterfalls and seals! We took the flight back, and that was also a treat. The views from the flight were once again beautiful and unique, and our pilot did a great job of making sure we got to see it all! Overall, I definitely recommend taking this tour when you visit Queenstown!
An amazing day to remember.

5.00From pick up to drop off, everything was well communicated. Even though it was a long day there were plenty of stops along the way as well as some very interesting local history. Milford Sound is as beautiful as you could have imagined and I’m so happy I got to experience it. The weather was great, so I was able to take the plane ride back into Queenstown which was the cherry on top of the cake.
Beautiful views on the road and boat

4.00Fun tour and beautiful cruise through the sound. Driver handled the roads expertly. Short stop for snacks was helpful. Unfortunately our scenic flight home was canceled and they didn’t tell us until just before we were scheduled to leave so we drove home on the van.
South Island must see

5.00The bus, cruise and airplane tour is a phenomenal experience. You have the opportunity to have different sight seeing on your way to Milford Sound. The small cruise enables you to get close to the waterfalls and observe the wildlife. Finally, the airplane ride gives you a stunning bird's eye view of the area.
