Exceptional

Wasn’t sure initially with so many companies to choose from but turned out to be the right decision. First class experience throughout with many dolphins encounters. Customer service was friendly from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

The best Milford cruise I have been on

I have tried 4 cruise companies now and this one has been by far the best. This cruise was a smaller boat and went out into the Tasmin more by far than the other bigger boats I’ve been on previously.

Save your money

If you’re wanting to spend a full day of car travel to achieve 2 hours of a boat ride viewing mountains, then this is for you. If not then save your money and stay in Queenstown or wherever you are and see the mountains from there. We saw more of the glaciers, waterfalls and ice cap mountains in Mount Cook during a self guided walk than this boat trip. Disappointed by the lack of sights during this ride, minimal commentary and overcrowded space to observe from the outside spots plus the few hot chocolate satchels that went really fast and left our kids with none, asked for more and was told there was none. Terrible experience and costly for what we received.

cruising milford sound

The cruise is small but it gave us a very close look to the shore. We saw baby seal sunbasking on the rock. And was lucky to catch the glimpse of dolphins. Wonderful experience!
