Beautiful spot to visut!

Real NZ did a wonderful job of safely and comfortably taking us from Te Anau to Milford Sound. The bus driver Jimmy was efficient, pleasant and knowledgeable and chose good stops for photos and breaks. The ride to and from was a very enjoyable part of the whole experience. The boat crew were all top notch and very helpful, considerate and the food on the boat was very good. So glad we didn't drive ourselves and could relax on the way and not have to worry about details and parking at the Sound. Very happy with the whole experience, including the gorgeous weather!

Very Good!

A very good trip with an informative/entertaining driver. The panoramic roof of the coach enabled us to appreciate the scenery en route. Milford Sound itself is stunning and the guide on the boat was very knowledgeable.

Amazing experience

Took coach from Te Anau not expecting commentary en route which was very informative. Very well organised trip which we would strongly recommend and if Blake is your driver you couldn’t ask for more!!
