Très belle croisière à Milford Sound

C'était un miracle ce 18 décembre de voir le soleil apparaître sur le fjord quelques minutes avant le départ du bateau. La croisière est la seule façon de voir toutes les merveilles des lieux. Merci pour votre organisation sans faille.

Super ! Très bien organisé avec un personnel accueillant. Petit bateau avec un nombre raisonnable de personne ce qui rend l’excursion encore plus agréable !

Croisiére fabuleuse

c'était une expérience inoubliable. le petit bateau s'est approché de très près des cascades! Et on eu la chance d'avoir plein de cascades car la veille il avait beaucoup plu. Si à visiter un seule endroit en Nouvelle Zélande, pour moi, c'est Milford Sound et en petit bateau.

A ne pas manquer !

Un grand merci à toute l'équipe de Mitre Peak pour ce moment qui restera inoubliable. Magnifique paysage entre cascades vertigineuses (Bowen falls, Stirling falls... douche garantie), falaises abruptes, végétation luxuriante et montagnes abruptes dont la fameuse Mitre Peak. On en prend plein les yeux. Le "petit" bateau permet de s'approcher du nord des falaises pour profiter encore plus du spectacle des cascades. Les filles à la réception sont adorables et d'une énergie débordante. Bravo à toute l'équipe.

Sympa

Sympa mais un peu long, dans le sens où une fois la moitié faite le retour est un peu long surtout que fonction où on est placé dans le bateau on entend pas toujours très bien le guide + les gens parlent par dessus donc compliqué de tout écouter alors que c'est le plus intéressant de la visite Mais sympa pour visiter les fjords
