    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

    Fantastic tour! Everything from the shuttle (Mercedes Sprinter), the guide (Madeleine has so many interesting insights to share), the boat tour and short walks we did was amazing. The price for all of this is very cheap, considering that a boat tour alone often costs more than 60 EUR. Trips and Tramps is a small family business from Te Anau and we are very happy to recommend them in every aspect.

    Off to an early start and our guide greeted us all as we got on the coach. He was very knowledgeable about the area and kept us informed along the way. Our cruise was in the morning so we beat the Queenstown rush and had better weather that day too. We had lots of stops for photos and walks at the points of interest along. A most enjoyable day.
