Milford Sound coach, cruise and buffet lunch

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a great commentary and many photo opportunities and toilet stops. The cruise was also brilliant. The Milford Sound experience was one not to be missed.

Amazing

Published on Feb, 2025

Amazing experience. The coach was comfortable and the driver was very good. The whole experience was better than I expected.

Wow Factor!!

Published on Feb, 2025

This trip took the term ‘wow factor’ to the next level. The beauty of this part of the world is beyond words. Simply awe struck most of the way. The amount of lakes in the area and the non stop mountain ranges and flora, just kept coming. Keith was our driver and guide. What a legend! He’s knowledge of not only New Zealand, Queenstown and Milford sound history was next level, but also his general knowledge of world history. I wasn’t bored for one moment. Top class driver and guide. He’ was instrumental in making this trip memorable. Please make sure he sees this review!! Highly recommended!

Awesome

Unique and Very Scenic Experience - Fly Back if You Can

Published on Feb, 2025

The scenery from the bus was spectacular - in some places you could see so far that it is hard to put into words the landscape. Greg our driver kept us entertained and was a dependable driver. The views of the fjords from the boat are spectacular and although we had less waterfalls than normal because the weather was warm and clear there were plenty. We did see seals but no dolphins. On the way to Milford Sound we stopped about 2 hours in for snacks and a bathroom break. We also stopped at Mirror Lakes - very cool. Many mountains has snow on them and so many lakes and rivers so beautiful. This a long day 7 plus hours in the bus especially if you are at the first pickup and last drop off. We got back to our hotel at 7:30 PM. We left our hotel at 6:45 AM to walk down the hill to the pickup point. Bring snacks if you are not sighing up for lunch on the boat. We wanted to fly back but all the services were booked best to do that up front - will save 3 hours coming back on the bus plus it is supposed to be awesome.
