Awesome experience, perfect view up the mountain with biscuits and coffee. Appreciate the training session before the official start of the ride which gives you confidence on riding the ATV.

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!

Amazing tour! Ian was a great tour guide – very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the entire drive to the ferry. A must-do if you're traveling to Milford Sound. The captain of the ferry was also very entertaining. Thank you, RealNZ team, for such an amazing experience! Highly recommend this tour and will be booking future experiences with RealNZ.

It was a very well-planned, well-organized trip. We had Ivan to guide us and I must admit, we returned much enriched with information of the region (in addition to his amazing driving skills). Would definitely recommend this to anyone who has not been to Milford Sound before

Upon arriving at the reception, after confirming your reservation information, the staff will give you your boat ticket. Keep it safe, then follow the staff's instructions to go outside and verify your reservation name with the driver. Once all guests are onboard, the driver will explain the day's itinerary and provide ongoing commentary. There will be stops along the way at several locations for photo opportunities, and there will also be some time spent in Te Anau for restroom breaks/eating/resting. Once you arrive at the boat launch, hand your ticket to the staff and board the boat. The captain will also provide commentary along the way. Free coffee, tea, and hot water are available on board for self-service. If you would like to purchase other hot food or drinks, they are also available on board. Milford Sound experiences a fair amount of rain, and when passing several large waterfalls, the boat will get quite close. If you are on the deck, you are likely to get wet, so it is recommended to bring a raincoat or wear a windproof and waterproof jacket. The fiord landscape is unique and not visible in many places. The scenery along the way is also beautiful and very worthwhile. I heartily recommend that anyone traveling to the South Island come and see it.

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
