We were thinking it might be a bit pricy, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. It was an unbelievable experience. The crew was so efficient and nice, the food was amazing, the rooms were even better than some hotel ones. And the place… the place was majestic. It was an unforgettable experience and we couldn’t be more happy we did it

From Manapouri: Doubtful Sound Overnight CruiseReviewed byCarmen,3/5/2025

Perfect trip! Tania was a great guide. We had plenty of stops along the way for seeing the sights in Fiordland National Park. Highlight was of course, the boat ride through the sound where we saw seals and dolphins. I would strongly recommend this trek out of Te Anau!

Milford Sound: Small-Group Tour from Te AnauReviewed byMartin,3/4/2025

Lovely day out! Did option 3 and it was a nice hike but definitely need to keep moving for most of the time to be able to catch the boat back! We did a little detour up at the beginning to see Awaroa bay from above

Abel Tasman National Park Cruise and Walking Tour ComboReviewed byZac,3/4/2025

The boat was well organised and on time. The driver was very informative. The self guided walk was lovely and we would do it again.
