I took my five-and-a-half-year-old daughter to this, and she was delighted to see the blue glowworms in the dark cave. While the number wasn't as dense and spectacular as in the photos, they were still quite beautiful and it was a special experience. Note that photography and cell phone use are prohibited inside the cave.

Booked for 6:30 AM, and you need to be at the pick-up location 10 minutes early. Seemed like we waited 20 minutes due to previous passengers being late. The 2 driver-guides spoke English throughout the entire trip, and they will let you off to take pictures of attractions along the way. The chicken burger and snacks for lunch were alright, even though they were cold. Milford Sound is worth visiting! Due to weather issues, the helicopter tour I originally booked was canceled for two consecutive days, so choosing this tour was worth the price. Highly recommended!

4-5 hour bus ride to and from the Milford Sound cruise terminal - there's a small cafe at the port and nothing else. Literally a full day of travel for a 1.5-hour cruise, which feels a little overrated. This isn't Klook's fault, but I think this tour is a little overhyped.

We joined the Rotorua tour with CheekyKiwi Tours and had Jeoff as our driver/guide. He was professional, friendly, and made the journey enjoyable with his humor and stories. Wai-O-Tapu’s geothermal wonders were breathtaking, the Polynesian Spa was the perfect place to relax, and the Rotorua city tour gave great local flavor. Jeoff’s care, attentiveness, and knowledge made the day unforgettable. Highly recommend both CheekyKiwi Tours and Jeoff!

The Milford Sound Day Tour with Cruise was an unforgettable experience and well worth the early wake-up call. The scenic drive to Milford Sound was breathtaking, with plenty of photo stops along the way to capture waterfalls, mountains, and mirror-like lakes. The driver/guide's commentary added depth to the journey, sharing fascinating stories and facts about the region.
The cruise itself was simply stunning. Surrounded by towering cliffs, lush greenery, and cascading waterfalls, it felt like stepping into a postcard. We were lucky to spot wildlife, including seals and birds, which made the trip even more special. The boat was comfortable with spacious viewing decks, and complimentary tea and coffee were a nice touch.
Overall, it's a must-do experience for anyone visiting New Zealand’s South Island—nature at its most majestic.

Tony our guide was incredibly funny. it was easy to check in at the visitor centre. Staff were friendly. From Te Anau, it was a 30 mins bus ride before we took a ferry for 45 mins. thereafter transfer to another 30 mins bus ride before a 3 hour cruise through doubtful sound. the return back to Te Anau is the same. guided tour for all the transfer. beautiful waterfalls and scenery throughout the trip. ferry and cruise was stable for my wife and I so we didn’t feel any seasickness.

Our tour guide Tania was amazing and sweet. We had 14 people on our bus. Milford Sound is absolutely stunning—one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. Surrounded by towering cliffs, lush rainforests, and cascading waterfalls, the views are nothing short of spectacular. Every angle feels like a postcard. The fjord has a peaceful, almost surreal atmosphere. The reflections on the water are mirror-like. If you're visiting New Zealand, Milford Sound is a must-see.
