Great tour into Fiordland National Park! Our guide Ross was very friendly and had lots of knowledge about the area, its nature and history. We appreciated that there were lots of stops on the way and also little walks so one could get a glimpse of the park apart from Milford Sound. The boat tour was very enjoyable and had good commentary to hear some facts about the fiord. Another bonus was the great vegetarian lunch option. We were super happy and would recommend!!

Amazing and most incredible day from start to finish. Extremely well organised with our excellent guide, Geoff who kept us amused and well-informed throughout. Travelling in a small group made the whole experience extra special. Had a really super day.

The driver, Geoff, was very knowledgeable & good fun over the 250km driven there & back to Milford Sound. He stopped at various places for photos & to see several Reas. Also had a good river falls walk at the end. The boat trip to the Tasman sea was well done with free coffee/tea Worth the money
