Awesome experience

Southern discovers are always great, we booked via Bookme and got a good deal. The drive in the instructions says to allow 5.5 hours but it only took us about 4 hours from Queenstown with a couple short stops. The trip itself was cool, we got to go under a waterfall and the commentary was good. Only thing I can fault is that they didn’t try the seating off after the previous trip so we had to ask for them to dry a seat off. Make sure to take fly spray as the info centre sells it’s for $20. This isn’t anything to do with southern discoveries though and no bugs on the boat itself. Just in the car park. And keep in mind parking is $10 per hour or if you pay on the machine in the terminal it’s $30 for overnight parking. We did not see this until in the terminal. Make sure to take warm clothes and something dry for after if you like to sit outside. Will be back again :)

Nice experience.... everything as expected

The cruise matched our expectations. On top of the wonderful scenery of Milford Sound we could spot dolphins and seals. The staff was friendly and helpful

Best scenery in NZ

One of the best boat tours in NZ. The skipper was great, we saw dolphins and seals. Highly recommend the trip in winter time. 10/10

This was not a 'nature' cruise

We booked this particular cruise expecting the commentary and tour to be based around the wildlife and nature of the Sound. There was nothing. The only commentary, which was extremely brief, talked about why the waterfalls and sound were named as they are. We passed various flocks of birds, not pointed out, not identified. This cruise was no different from any of the others that simply cruise out looking at the admittedly marvellous view. It should not be badged as a 'nature' trip. We paid extra. Mistake!
