The unforgottable trip to Queenstown - Our experience in Queenstown was amaizing. We extended our trip to Milford sound and the tour was just good.There were a lot of amizing sights along the way. No moment of the trip was dull.

Easy and Fun! - We booked this the night before when weather cancelled a flight to Milford Sound. We were extremely nervous about checking in and that they may not have all the information they needed from us, however, it could not have been smoother! Everything from check in until drop off was very smooth and well organized. Our tour guide, Dan, was excellent and very informative. The bus was clean and well maintained as well. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour from Queenstown to Milford Sound - Great tour of Milford Sound on a rainy day with lots of waterfalls, and a couple of fur seals spotted. The bus ride from Queenstown to Milford Sound was comfortable, with a couple of good stops to grab breakfast and use the rest room. The bus coach has large windows both side and roof, so is great for taking in the amazing views on the way to and from Milford Sound. Our driver Brian was very informative about the areas and towns along the way. Unfortunately, we were not able to stop at Mirror Lake or stop to see the Kea birds, because both stops were full up with bus coaches by the time we arrived. As the summer season gets into full swing, I’d imagine this will be more and more common, with larger crowds. Otherwise, it was a a great day! Highly recommend!

Simply stunning. - Simply outstanding. We picked this tour up in TeAnau on a stunning spring day. Brian our coach driver was excellent at pointing things out and giving us good time at each lookout point. We were not expecting such beautiful weather but as it had rained the previous day the waterfalls were still in full view. The cruise through the Milford Sound was at an excellent pace, lots of information related to us and the scenery is breathtaking. This is an excellent tour by a great eco aware company. Would highly recommend.

Milford trip - Paulie was such a phenomenal driver and guide, I had the most lovely of times learning about the area and appreciating the great views. He’s clearly very experienced and knows so much about the area.

Driver - The jokes of the driver and is knowledge. Some of the scenery on the way down. Probably wouldn’t recommended a 11 hr bus ride for a 2 hour cruise
