This excursion was terrific. Certainly the best way to see the extraordinary scenery mixed in with historic information and even some botany! The tour bus driver and the cruise captain were both great. It was a perfect blue sky day… not a cloud anywhere! Apparently a pretty rare occurrence! We really enjoyed the day!
Such a beautiful day, would love to do this in winter as well - feel like beauty would be magnified again. From start to finish you are captivated by new zealands beauty and history.. The tour guide we had Junior was very informative, kept us entertained and got us to some really good spots to take pictures. I loved the bus ride, there is and option (with a price tag) to fly back - I have no doubt both options are great to do. I enjoyed my day, the boat trip was totally worth it, I was in awe at what we have here. I'll leave some sneak peaks. This is a must!!
We had a very good time at Milford. The weather was mind blowing with light and heavy showers which brought down heaps of waterfalls through the mountains. It was absolutely the best time to visit Milford.
The most amazing day out - highly recommend to all! We were very fortunate with our Driver/Guide - Stan, such an incredible person - he made the journey that much better again.
