Milford Soundin luontoristeily ja maisemallinen päiväretki

Vastaanotossa, kun varausvahvistus on tarkistettu, henkilökunta antaa laivaliput. Kun olet saanut ne, seuraa henkilökunnan ohjeita ja mene ulos vahvistamaan varausnimesi kuljettajan kanssa, jonka jälkeen voit nousta autoon. Kun kaikki matkustajat on noudettu, kuljettaja selittää päivän aikataulun ja tekee esittelyjä matkan varrella. Pysähdymme muutamassa paikassa, jotta voitte ottaa kuvia, ja Te Anaussa on tauko vessakäyntiä, syömistä ja lepäämistä varten. Laivaan noustessa anna laivaliput henkilökunnalle. Kapteeni tekee myös esittelyjä matkan varrella, ja laivalla on ilmaista kahvia, kuumaa teetä ja kuumaa vettä itsepalveluna. Jos haluat ostaa muita lämpimiä ruokia tai juomia, niitä on saatavilla laivalla. Milford Soundissa sataa melko usein, ja kun ohitamme suuria vesiputouksia, laiva ajaa hyvin lähelle niitä. Jos olet kannella, saatat kastua. Suosittelemme ottamaan mukaan sadetakin tai käyttämään tuulen- ja vedenpitävää takkia. Vuonon maisemaa ei näe monessa paikassa, ja matkan varrella olevat näkymät ovat myös kauniita. Se on ehdottomasti vierailun arvoinen, ja suosittelemme sitä kaikille Eteläsaarelle matkustaville.

We had Stan as our tour guide and he was extremely funny and entertaining. we had such an amazing time and the views were so amazing. Stan stopped by a couple of places where we were able to take photos and we were lucky enough to catch the snowy mountains. highly recommend !

Our guide, Keith, was friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming and humourous! Stopped at great spots for pictures. His attention to detail was phenomenal, and every part of the trip was worth it! Thank you, Keith for your expertise!

Everything was perfect from pick up service in our hotel, the glass roof coach, our friendly and funny Greg (if I'm not mistaken his name) and the cruise in Milford Sound. Time schedule is on time and we come back to our hotel happy and satisfied.

An amazing trip ! I booked for 6 people and we were allowcated seats to sit together, which was really considerate. The coach driver Stan was a really nice and jolly guy, made the journey fun, insightful and that much better. The coach was beautiful with big windows and glass roof. The stop overs were beautiful, like mirror lakes, monkey flat, lake gun and also got to see keas ! The toilet breaks were perfect + cafe stopovers. The cruise was also beautiful and the buffet was really nice too, kept us from having to bring extra snacks or food. Southern Discoveries was a really great choice, definitely booking with them again in the near future.

Overall was ok. We opt for the buffet lunch, food was decent. The bus ride to and back from Milford Sound is a bit tiring but Stand the driver/tour guide makes it fun. We stopped by Te Anau for breakfast and toilet break. Milford sound cruise was ok, was expecting more of it but I guess it didn’t rain as much so the waterfall wasn’t really spectacular.

Such a worthwhile experience. Taxi picked us up from our hotel and took us to the bus station where the tour bus met us. Keith was an incredible driver and highly engaging and provided lots of commentary throughout the drive. The cruise was also super lovely. While it rained all day, we saw lots of waterfalls and Keith even stopped the bus to let us play in the snow. A long day but so worth it.

The trip was enjoyable. Small issue at the start as our taxi pickup from our hotel was late but we called the team and they were very responsive and helped us rectified it quickly. The coach was very spacious and comfortable and there was sufficient toilet breaks. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgable. The cruise was on a fairly large boat (can accomodate up to 400 pax) so we could not get too near to the cliffs or waterfalls. Captain boat driving was good as I get seasick easily but I felt fine. Captain was also very helpful to point out nearby wildlife, we got to see dolphins! We purchased the buffet lunch option on the cruise. The food was impressive but buffet closes in 40 min so there was a rush to get food and eat first. Probably won’t recommend the buffet option as it would be more valuable to focus time on taking photos.

We had an amazing one day tour to Milford Sound. The driver was very friendly and informative. We were amazed by the views along the way to the destination. The cruise was so comfortable and clean. We had a buffet food and it was so delicious. Really worth the price and time

You get what you booked. From taxi pick up in our hotel arrived on time. Our road trip with Southern Discovery bus and all the stop overs are on time and our driver Greg was very fun & informative. The lunch in the cruise was amazing! Just how amazing the view outside. Milford Sound is a place to be :) Cold cold days but amazing place.
