No exaggeration - The bus driver guide besides being an excellent driver, encouraged us and informed in a very pleasant way, keeping me very interested in the adventure.. The boat trip, was very good experience, because the place is unique, it is a wonder!!! Attention on board amazing! Despite the bad weather, with persistent rains and a bit of cold to be reaching the summer, the tour organization managed to give this excellent opinion!! Thank you very much

Beautiful views - It is a long journey, about 5 hours each way, which I somehow hadn't realised. It is a great way to see the countryside, though, and there are spectacular views of the mountains. The boat ride is nice. We were lucky, and the rain had just stopped, so there were lots of waterfalls. Driver was friendly.

Beautiful day at Milford Sound - Driver was excellent. Took us to Milford safely and back to Queenstown with lots of education about the area. Cruise itself was flawless with a tasty lunch and saw penguins, seals and waterfalls. Boat captain also very informative and crew overall attentive.
