The reason why the rating is so bad has nothing to do with the cruise ship shops in Milford Sound. The main reason is that Klook is very bad. I completed the order on 2024/08/07, and the trip time was 2024/11/12. I suddenly received a partial refund notice on 2024/11/06, but the reason for the partial refund was not disclosed in the email until the day of the trip. The underwater observatory sank, so the kayaking experience was also unavailable. However, Klook did not give the customer a chance to choose, and directly adjusted the order to a cruise + picnic on board. If the cruise on the Southern Discovery official website is just 159NZD (about 3180 NTD), the cruise + picnic meal is 198NZD (about 3960 NTD). The original order After the refund, I still paid 4344 NTD... 1. If I had known that there would be no kayaking experience, I would not have chosen the itinerary that included meals. But Klook didn’t give me a chance to make a choice. Fulfill the duty of disclosure for good reasons. And in order to participate in the kayaking experience, I need to buy more hours at the pre-pay parking lot at Milford Sound. 2. The refund amount seems wrong and may include some handling fees.

It is suitable for families and children to travel together. The scenery of the fjord is very spectacular and the included lunch is also delicious. I recommend it to everyone who travels to New Zealand.

The Underwater Observatory was fantastic. The kayaking was excellent, although a couple of beginners in my group meant we didn't cover much distance. The main boat cruise was following some dry weather so not full of waterfalls (still several). The boat is naturally and unfortunately a little busy & therefore touristy in feel ... but I am, after all, also a tourist. All in all a great day! Recommend the combo experience, the cruise alone isn't enough!

easy to redeem. enjoyed kayaking under the sun and wished there was more of that instead of underwater museum

Cruise the spectacular waters of Milford Sound, passing colonies of fur seals, tumbling waterfalls, and soaring cliffs. You’ll explore on a boat whose viewing decks and glassed-in cabins are ideal for sightseeing in any weather, traveling all the way from Mitre Peak to the Tasman Sea. Make your own way to Milford Sound, or opt for round-trip transport from Queenstown by glass-roofed coach, with sightseeing, short hikes, and narration along the way.
