Take a boat to the wormhole across the lake. After the explanation, the leader will lead you into the cave. The number of fireflies in the cave is very large, like a sky full of stars. It is even more beautiful to enter with a small boat. This is a must-see trip. Present your Klook voucher at the counter to check in and exchange for a boarding pass. You can board the boat with the boarding pass. No photography or videography is allowed inside the cave.

it’s a GREAT TRIP! the coach was on time, the ride was comfortable and smooth. we encountered a hiccup when the bus broke down but the humorous bus captain was calm, cracked some jokes while resolving the problem. ample time was given for photo taking at different viewpoints. no need to get the buffet lunch, in my opinion. pack something simple, like buying sandwich n chips in supermarket in the morning. it saves you $$. for me, I didn’t spend too much time eating. I went to the top deck to see Milford sound. most gorgeous view! we saw dolphins too!!

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!

Milford Sound was an absolutely incredible experience and even more magical in the rain. So many waterfalls appearing out of nowhere made it feel unreal and worth getting absolutely soaked for. Chris, our tour guide and driver, was fantastic, knowledgeable, funny, and just sarcastic enough to keep things entertaining with his classic dad jokes.

Te Anau Lakeview Holiday Park is a practical base for exploring Fiordland. The cabins and motel units are simple but tidy, with plenty of space for families or groups. If you’re camping, the grounds are wide open with good facilities—showers, kitchens, and laundry all easy to access. The big draw is the location: right across from Lake Te Anau, so you wake up to mountain views and can stroll into town in about 10 minutes. It’s not luxury, but it’s friendly, affordable, and geared toward travelers who want convenience and scenery without fuss.

A wonderful experience, glad we followed a day tour instead of self drive so we could admire the view better, be relaxed and learn more about each of the pit stops (eg. monkey creek). Loved the cruise ride had great weather and views! the food on the cruise was good too! We went for the last tour which set off at 8am from Crowne Plaza and boarded the last cruise out at 2.30pm. It’ll be good to have some light snacks else lunch will be served quite late. We had the falafel (vegan) wrap which was served cold and still yummy while the chicken pie was served warm! both options were yummy!

The Doubtful Sound Wilderness Day tour is a breathtaking escape into one of New Zealand’s most remote and pristine landscapes. While the scenery is undoubtedly world-class, our guide, Peanut, truly made the day exceptional. From the moment we boarded, Peanut’s expert driving and deep knowledge of the Fiordland wilderness were on full display. Navigating the steep Wilmot Pass was seamless, and his commentary provided fascinating insights into the region's unique ecology and history. What set the experience apart, however, was his infectious humor; he kept the entire group laughing and engaged throughout the long journey. The wildlife encounters were the ultimate highlight. Thanks to Peanut’s keen eyes and timing, we were treated to rare sightings of playful dolphins dancing near the boat and seals basking on the rugged rocks. For a day filled with laughter, incredible expertise, and the silent majesty of the "Sound of Silence," this tour is an absolute must-do

I really liked Tania, our driver and tour guide. She was enthusiastic and diligently explained everything along the way to Milford Sound. She also let us get out and take photos at various scenic spots. The whole experience was relaxed and enjoyable, and we didn't feel rushed at all. It might have been because it was the off-season in winter, so it was a small, intimate group (our family of four plus a family of three from Australia), making a total of seven people, which was especially nice. The cruise that was partnered with for the Milford Sound boat tour was also excellent. The staff on board thoughtfully pointed out key attractions and even proactively helped us take photos – so considerate! There were several hot drinks and delicious cookies available on board. The lunch provided on the tour was very generous, with sandwiches, drinks, fruit, cheese, and cookies... On the way back, Tania even treated us to her homemade delicious brownies, which was such a treat. An irreplaceable and wonderful experience for me ❤️
