Cruzeiro pela Natureza de Milford Sound e Excursão Cênica de Um Dia

Upon arriving at the reception desk, after confirming your booking information, the staff will provide you with boat tickets. Keep these safe. Then, follow the staff's instructions to go outside and verify your booking name with the driver before boarding the vehicle. Once all guests have been picked up, the driver will explain the day's itinerary and provide commentary periodically. Along the way, there will be stops at several locations for photo opportunities. You will also have some time in Te Anau for restroom breaks, food, or rest. Upon reaching the boarding point, present your boat tickets to the staff, and you can then board the boat. The captain will also provide commentary throughout the journey. Complimentary coffee, hot tea, and hot water are available on board for self-service. If you wish to purchase other hot food or drinks, they are also available on the boat. Milford Sound experiences a fair amount of rain, and when passing by several large waterfalls, the boat will get very close. If you are on the deck, you are likely to get splashed. It is recommended to bring a raincoat or wear a windproof and waterproof jacket. The fjord landscape is unique and not seen in many places, and the scenery along the way is also beautiful. It is definitely worth visiting, and I sincerely recommend that anyone traveling to the South Island come and experience it.

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 humorous! He 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!

Tout était parfait, du service de prise en charge à notre hôtel, au car à toit vitré, à notre sympathique et amusant Greg (si je ne me trompe pas de nom) et à la croisière à Milford Sound. L'horaire a été respecté et nous sommes rentrés à notre hôtel heureux et satisfaits.

Un viaje increíble! Reservé para 6 personas y nos asignaron asientos para sentarnos juntos, lo cual fue muy considerado. El conductor del autobús, Stan, era un tipo muy agradable y alegre, hizo el viaje divertido, perspicaz y mucho mejor. El autobús era hermoso con grandes ventanas y techo de cristal. Las paradas fueron hermosas, como los lagos espejo, Monkey Flat, Lake Gunn y también pudimos ver keas. Las paradas para ir al baño fueron perfectas + paradas en cafeterías. El crucero también fue hermoso y el buffet estuvo muy bueno, nos evitó tener que llevar bocadillos o comida extra. Southern Discoveries fue una excelente elección, definitivamente volveré a reservar con ellos en un futuro cercano.

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 meal 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.
