Stunning day out in the Milford - Amazing day out, yes like other reviews mention it is a long day looking at a 5 hour bus ride twisting turning there and back, longer on the way with extra scenic stops however the views are so amazing you don’t really feel it! Leaving before sunrise and returning after sunset! Brian our bus driver was amazing had a wealth of knowledge to keep us interested on everything around us along the way. The only thing to mention might be that the places they pick up from are limited so we had to uber ourselves there and back. Would be great if they add more pickup options.

Worth the long day - Be prepared for a long but breathtaking day! Our guide and driver was Brian and was informative, knowledgeable and stopped at all the amazing stops, he patiently waited for us and gave good tips along the way. The cruise was well worth it too with the amazing commentary and scrumptious lunch. Highly recommended Pure Milford for the tour!

Okay - Very long day in the bus. The tour guide/driver is good though. The cruise is ok but not really worth the long drive imo
