Milford Sound bus and wilderness cruise.

This was a comfortable, relaxing way to journey into Milford Sound. The driver (Stan the Man) was informative and entertaining, plus a very skilled driver on the treacherous roads and conditions, felt very safe in the modern, comfortable coach. Boat crew were welcoming and the vessel was spotless and roomy. Thank you for the best experience:)

Best trip ever

We joined the bus in Te Ana. Vaughan the bus drivers commentary was suburb! I learnt so much from him as we travelled in. My 16 year old said that the drive in was almost better than the cruise. Vaughan was amazing totally recommend him as your bus driver. The coach and cruise was the best option as I (the driver) got to see everything as well. It was value for money. No parking hassles either.

Great day

Stan our driver was great, very informative and a smooth drive. Boat cruise was great. Brad the captain was very informative and gave interesting insight. Cruise staff were great too. Picnic box was good, but a bit overpriced

It was a fun and comfortable trip. The driver was also friendly and had a great sense of humour, which made it even more enjoyable.
