We had Brian as our coach guide, who was incredibly informative with great humour, which was well needed for the many hours of travel. The coach and the boat were both in good condition and we’re a fun way to explore the beautiful sights of Aotearoa. Would definitely recommend this to others!

Although a long journey it was well worth it. So great to stop and see different landscapes and points of interest like Mirror Lakes. Our Guide and driver Debbie was amazing and she had so many interesting and informative stories about the pioneers of this incredible area.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on our trip to Milford Sound. Brian our coach driver was very informative and kept us entertained on the journey there and back. Views were exceptional, even in the poring rain. The cruise around the fiord was amazing. Brian got us home safe and sound on a rainy day. I would highly recommend the tour. Great muffin and coffee at the morning tea spot too!
