This small group tour was the highlight of our NZ trip. Steven, driver and guide, was top class - ask for Steven if you can! We had the perfect amount of stops on the way and back. The picnic lunch was tasty and generous. Different options were offered for after the boat trip to cater for different preferences - we went and experienced an optional paid activity, but there were free walking trails and a cafe. We stopped at a place where Steven knew keas frequented, and we got to see a very cheeky one close up. The pick up and drop off to the accommodation made for a stress free day. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful day with Fiordland Tours. Our guide, Tania, was helpful, funny, and informative. The van was super comfortable. Our Milford Sound cruise was spectacular. We particularly appreciated all the stops along the road, even including a short hike to see a waterfall. And tea!! We were meant to drive ourselves, and we are so glad we didn’t. This is absolutely the best way to do the Milford Sound.
