Milford Sound-cruise med RealNZ

En to timer lang båttur i Milford Sound er virkelig avhengig av flaks. Før avreise var jeg egentlig litt engstelig, for stedet er kjent for mye regn, med over to hundre regndager i året. Å oppleve solskinn er derfor ikke en selvfølge. Da båten sakte seilte ut fra kaien og jeg så solen bryte gjennom skyene, med blå himmel og fjell som dukket opp samtidig, kunne jeg ikke la være å tenke: «Takk, Gud, for velsignelsen.» Hele turen varte omtrent to timer, men hvert minutt føltes som å se en live naturdokumentar. Det dypblå og smaragdgrønne vannet glitret i solskinnet; de høye klippene på begge sider stupte rett ned i havet, og fjellkjedene strakte seg ut i det fjerne. Da båten sakte nærmet seg fossene, spredte vanntåken seg i sollyset, som om et fint slør av lys ble drysset over oss. Sjokket var ikke bare på grunn av det storslåtte, men en følelse av litenhet og ærefrykt over å være omgitt av naturen. De mest ikoniske fjelltoppene fremsto ekstra tredimensjonale mot den blå himmelen, og skyene beveget seg langs fjellsidene – et bilde så vakkert at det nesten virket uvirkelig. New Zealands flagg vaiet i vinden akterut, og bølgene på havet sto i kontrast til fjellandskapet i det fjerne. I det øyeblikket blir man virkelig stille og kjenner på kraften i dette landet. Mange sier at Milford Sound har flere og mer spektakulære fosser på regnværsdager; men å se en så klar utsikt og tydelige fjellinjer i godt vær er faktisk like sjeldent. Denne turen fikk meg til å innse at en tur til Milford Sound virkelig krever litt flaks. Og når det gode været dukker opp, forsterkes følelsen uendelig. Den to timer lange turen var raskt over, men den blå himmelen, den fossen og det fjellet vil forbli i minnet lenge. Takk til været som ga oss et perfekt vindu, og gjorde denne fjordturen til det reneste og mest imponerende øyeblikket på hele reisen.

The cruise was enjoyable with its magnificent scenery at milford sound. The timing and duration of the cruise was just nice and the guide did a good job explaining the different features which we encountered along the way.

Cruising through Milford Sound was breathtaking — towering cliffs, mirror-like water, and incredible views. The only pity was that the weather was too perfect that day, so we didn’t get to see the famous waterfalls in full force. Still, an unforgettable journey into one of New Zealand’s natural wonders!

Perfect, simple, oh so enjoyable! The vessel was very nice - with mulled wine, heaters and plenty of space for everyone. The crew was great and very entertaining. We were lucky enough to not be there in rain - saw seals and dolphins.

seamless experience using klook voucher to exchange for a ticket! short walk from the carpark, will pass by a cafe on the way. they sell food on board too if hungry! sights were beautiful and surprisingly I don't feel sea sick. great experience for first timers but don't think I will be back again. the drive down was pretty scary too.. 😅

If you traveled to south island of newzealand you can't miss this spot. It was like living in the paradise. During the cruise you will meet with the unforgetable-impressive view of the mountain, water fall, some wild-life. Every spot of the trip was photogenic!

the counter is easy to find. staff are friendly and informative. the cruise is big clean and comfortable. We saw dolphins and seals!

10:30集合11:00出發，我有點小遲到10:56狂奔，很感謝工作人員還是讓我們上船，態度良好面帶微笑！搭船這天有出太陽，風也不太大，可惜沒看到海豚。船上有賣吃的喝的，但建議大家可以自己帶食物在船上吃。沿路風景都很美，還有船長會做英文解說！下午一點的人潮會非常多，我是參加早上11點的，人潮不太多比較好拍照！很棒的行程！

Amazing views of the milford sound aboard this cruise. Was a little confusing trying to find the right counter to redeem ticket but everyone was very friendly and willing to help. Try to board early as the seats on the upper deck get full fast, also parking lot gets full as well. The cruise was very beautiful and serene. We were able to see a pod of dolphins and sea lions.

Self drove in to Milford and took a lovely afternoon cruise into the sound, crew were friendly and polite. Amazing views for memories to last a lifetime!
