Stunning and Magical - Great drive down with Hannah. Lots of photo opportunities and stories told. Scenery of the mountains, farmland and rainforest was stunning. The boat trip was magical. Waterfalls, dolphins, seals and penguins. The service exceptional. Staff friendly and happy to answer all your questions. It’s a must do if you are in the area, well worth it!

Cheeky Kiwi is the way! - Our guide Brian was awesome! Appreciated being picked up/dropped off, did not have to worry about anything for the day. Loved being with a small group and appreciated the variety of scenic stops we had along the way. Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound were spectacular and can’t wait to visit again.

Great day at Milford - Excellent guiding - Excellent day out of Te Anau to Milford Sound. Jonathan was a great driver/guide and very knowledgeable. He makes everyone comfortable. We had a full day programme, but no stress at all. The drive is magnificent, also thanks to the various stop and walks in the forests or at the lakes. The cruise was great, about 2 hours and very impressive. A highlight of our trip to NZ.

Road trip with Sinchan - Our guide, Sinchan, was quite knowledgeable and very engaging. Made the long road trip go by effortlessly. The extra bonus was a great weather day so both the Milford Sound cruise and nature stops were eye popping. Highly recommend!!

Can't beat Milford Sound, even on a bad day... - Spectacular place. Well-organised tour. Make sure you take wet weather gear. Some of the commentary about the history of Aotearoa could do with revisioning/updating to be less eurocentric - times have changed...but overall - great.

Worth It! - This was the highlight of our trip to New Zealand. It's a long day but well worth it. Going into Milford Sound was just a breathtaking experience. The boat ride was lovely and you get so close to the waterfalls. When the Tasman Sea got a little rough a very kind crew member, Brooke, just talked me through what was happening. She has a very calm approach and was just a wealth of knowledge. She made what was a rocky experience for me (the rest of my family loved the small waves) just splendid. She was great!

Fantastic - Enjoyable cruise and knowledgeable guides. The staff was extremely friendly and even offered to take a photo of me steering the wheels! Will definitely come back one day in the winter or on a wet day.
