Great Experience

The driver, Steve, was outstanding from start to finish. By choosing to do the tour the Milford Sound experience lasted a lot longer than a boat trip and was stress free. The group was small both on the bus and boat which made the experience that much more enjoyable.

Amazing day, tour was brilliant and guide even better!

Door to door pickup and return in a luxury van. Extremely knowledgable tour guide who couldn't do enough to help us. Lunch was incredible, we had way more than we needed or expected but enjoyed it all, especially the sandwich. Got to see a Kia on the way back and weren't rushed to move on. Great day, love every minute!
