Bien avec bookme

Une belle ballade d'en un endroit magnifique. C'est le lieux qui feras le tout. l'excursion en elle même n'a rien d'extrat. Equipe gentille commentaire interessant. la meteo etait bonne et on a quand même fait que le petite circuit et le bateau est rester a quai après notre ballade donc un gros mauvais point au capitaine qui la jouer rapide sans raison. Mais le bateau s'approche prés des seals, et cascade vraiment sympas... et humide... Avec le tarif proposer par bookme je DIT OUI sans probleme a cette ballade dans ce lieu magique n'hésitait pas..... apres sans la reduction, c'est un peu comme la nouvelle zelande en general c'est un peu abusif niveau rapport qualité prix...

Lieu immanquable !

Passage obligé en NZ, Milford Sound n’est pas un attrape touriste. Un brouillard au début de la visite donnant une atmosphère mystérieuse puis un soleil et un ciel azur qui nous a permis de profiter d’une vu magnifique sur le fiord et ses nombreuses cascades. Il n’y a pas de mauvais jour pour y aller ! Rien que la route pour y mener vous en mettra plein les yeux

Milford sound nature cruise

Croisière extra avec un super staff. Je trouve cependant regrettable que lors de la réservation sur book me à aucun moment on ne m'a donné le nom du croisiériste, il fallut que je fasse tous les guichets pour trouver le bon (southern discovery...). De plus, j'avais réservé (et payé) pour le repas buffet du midi, mais il ne m'a jamais été signalé lors de la réservation que ce repas n'était disponible que pour la croisière de 13h, or la mienne partait à 10h30, il faut donc maintenant que je fasse une réclamation pour me faire rembourser la différence... Autrement la croisière était magnifique et très bien encadrée!
