Why pay more? - We booked this trip because it was the least expensive on the day.
There was nothing budget though, it was a great trip. Captain Kahu was very knowledgeable and kept things interesting.
He showed us exactly the same waterfalls that the people on the big expensive cruises saw!! It would be hard to justify the price difference, these guys were on point and delivered a great experience…. A not to be missed experience for the entire family.

Once in a lifetime! - Absolutely loved the cruise! Smaller boat meant less people so more space to move around and see more of the sights! Kahurangi and his team were very welcoming and knowledgeable about Milford sounds and the history which made the cruise even better! The scenery was just to die for!!

Great team, great value, awesome experience - Great team, from check-in to disembarkment. Captain had a beautiful balance of sharing knowledge and not over-talking. Lovely deckhand who walked the boat to make sure everyone was happy. Although not a full boat, you could tell that there would be plenty of room to take it all in, if it were.

Incredible experience - Views were incredible. Loved the smaller boat & being able to get up close to the sights, including the waterfalls. Weather was beautiful and the captain was really knowledgeable and informative. Comfortable boat and lots of room to see everything around us. Plenty of space to stand or sit and a great indoor area with tea and coffee.

Mesmerising Views - This was an mesmerising trip and the pilot was so accommodating that she allowed my daughter to sit next to her. Libby was an awesome pilot and provided the necessary information of the region during the flight and had a good sense of humour.
Every moment was good and as we approached the fiords the view of Wilson lake around the glaciers was fantabulous.
The flight being smaller had good room and the best part was flying time was more than the flights operated by other companies in the region. So in that sense we had a higher flying time and more time to enjoy the views.
Recommend taking ZQN flight operated by Mitre Peak.
