투어 좋았어요

뷔페도 그럭저럭 먹을만했고 배도 튼튼했어요 모든 포토스팟에 다 내리는 건 아니고 3군데 정도 내려서 사진 찍을 시간 줬어요. 아마 시간 맞추려고 어떤 곳은 그냥 밖에서만 보는 것 같아오. 기사님도 친절하셨어요. 화장실은 거의 2-3시간마다 갔네요 ㅎㅎ 추천합니다!!

밀포드 사운드 최고

크루즈 뷔페도 맛있고, 크루즈에서 본 절경, 물범, 돌고래, 폭포 등 잊지 못할 기억을 가져갑니다. 12시간을 투자해야한다는 것과 다소 비싼 가격(약 20만원/인당)을 제외하고는 전부 다 좋았습니다. 자연을 좋아한다면 고민하지말고 렛츠 고 ㅎㅎ

밀포드사운드후기

하루 온전히 쓰는 투어라 고민했는데, 렌트로 가는것보다 이렇게나마 가서 좋았어요. 렌트로 갔다면 원웨이 터널을 통과하는게 정말 무서웠을것 같아요.... 저는 도시락 포함한 투어였는데, 도시락도 맛있어요. 단 배 안에서 뭘 사려고 한다면 카드가 안될수 있으니 현금을 챙겨가는걸 추천합니다. 그리고 중간에 쉬는 겸 해서 들렸다 가는 휴게소가 있는데 파이가 맛있었습니다.

만족스러운 퀸즈타운에서 밀포드 사운드까지

퀸즈타운에서 밀포드 사운드까지 버스 기사님의 끊임없는 설명에 감탄합니다. 이메일로 문의를 몆 가지 했는데 빨리 답장와서 좋았어요. 버스에 화장실 있고 충전 시설도 있어서 부담스럽지 않았어요. 이동 중에 화장실 몇번 들리고 사진 포인트에서도 편안하게 사진 찍을 수 있어서 좋았어요. 돌고래, 폭포, 물개 좋아요~ 돌아오는길에는 영화봐서 지루하진 안았어요. 다 좋았어요.
