Reviews: From Queenstown: Milford Sound Cruise and Coach Day Tour
Guest User2026-01-29
I would highly recommend this trip, our driver Paulie was great. His commentary was informative and fun with some good stories added into the mix. The road to Milford Sound is windy at points but the bus handles it well. The cruise around the Sound was great and the journey there and back is worth it!★

Reviews: Queenstown scenic round-trip flight + Milford Sound / Piopiotahi cruise - time-saving and effortless
Guest User2025-10-07
It took four adjustments before we finally got on the flight and saw the fjord, but it was totally worth it! The owner was incredibly dedicated, answering every question and patiently explaining things. He even proactively helped with potential itineraries and helped secure a seat.
Furthermore, the weather check and departure times for my final itinerary were at 1:00 AM China time. I had planned to call and confirm them myself, but the owner was so persistent that he helped confirm them. I was so touched! I highly recommend this place! It was a great choice!★

Reviews: New Zealand Milford Sound / Piopiotahi 1-Day Tour - 16-Person Group + Mercedes Travel Van + Cruise + Lunch
Guest User2025-12-03
I booked one day and went the next. It was a small group with few people, and the foreign driver/guide was beautiful, kind, and incredibly attentive. She provided detailed explanations throughout the trip, stopped at every attraction to take photos for us, and even prepared local plant information and drew a diagram explaining the formation of the fjords. On the way back from the boat, she thoughtfully provided chocolates and umbrellas for when it rained. The customer service was also very patient, assisting us whenever we were worried about getting lost. A great experience!★

Reviews: New Zealand Milford Sound 1-Day Tour | Panoramic Bus + Fjord Cruise + Optional Buffet Lunch
Guest User2026-01-20
We took the tour from Te Anau. We stopped at many places on the way to Milford Sound, allowing us to take photos. You can buy lunch on the Milford Sound cruise, or bring your own. We were grateful for the free coffee, tea, and water. We were able to see many incredibly high cliffs and really get a feel for the sheer scale of the place.★
