Wow., Just Wow! AMAZING TRIP.. I booked a helicopter flight to Milford for my Mum for her 70th birthday. Unfortunately the weather was bad so Heliworks helped her chose another day. The morning she was due to fly they upgraded her trip to an even better one - with a stopover on a glacier, then to a secluded beach on the West Coast (which she said was the highlight), then into Milford Sound. She said the whole trip was just AMAZING, and so memorable. The pilot was so friendly and knowledgable and she hasn't stopped talking about it , or showing us the fabulous photos .. thank you for giving my Mum such a fabulous experience .

This outfit were a well oiled machine! From start to finish their friendly staff made you feel safe, excited and comfortable. This was one of the top 5 experiences travel in my life - the plane journey was superlative! The views so up-close you feel like you are part of the mountain. The Milford cruise was stunning and again very comfortable with knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend the whole experience!

Highly recommend to everyone although there may be a chance tour can be cancelled due to road closure in winter season. Our driver, Sam, kept us entertained with his commentary during the tour. We had a fantastic time, with a few stops along the way for photo opportunity.

What an incredible day, from the moment our driver Mark picked us up from our accommodation till the moment we were dropped back home his friendliness, professionalism and local knowledge was a pleasure to be around. The small tour size allowed for many stops along the way to Milford Sounds, unloading and reloading was a breeeze and not once did we feel we had to wait for the prime spot to take photos or wait in lines to board like you would in a regular coach. Milford Sounds from the boat was incredible but much to our surprise the scenery on the journey there was the even more spectacular. After finishing our day with Milford VIP we knew we had received the best experience Milford Sounds has to offer, I would highly recommend them to everyone. You will not be disappointed!

Our driver Johnny was easy to converse with. I sat up front & enjoyed the views during our drive to Milford Sound & back. There were only five of us, plus Johnny, so it was easy getting on/off during our various photo stops. Enjoyed the Cruise I went on with Real Journeys. It rained just a bit, but enough to bring out a few additional falls during the two hours we were out. I had been doing a lot of driving around NZ in the days preceding, so was happy to book a tour that included transport from Te Anau. :)

I recommend availing the coach tour rather than driving going to milford sound. Our bus driver/tour guide named Craig was very nice, intelligent and had lots of funny stories to share. Definitely worth the money. Lunch inside the cruise was also affordable.

Good experience, well worth the money

Small group works for us just fine. We had great weather. Sacha was really nice and we had plenty of stops along the way. The buffet was nice, Cruise a little crowded... saw seals and dolphins too!

I can not recommend this experience enough. It was absolutely awesome. We were on the bus ‘AWESOME’ and Paul the driver was so entertaining giving us a lot of history and interesting detail about the native birds, environment, area and all given in a way that was definitely not not boring

We had a great day from Queenstown to Milford Sounds yesterday the bus driver knew her stuff and the buffet was yummy. Unfortunately the boat had a machanical issue but the crew were quick to react and get us aboard another boat to we still got to take in whe whole Milford sound experience.

This is an excellent experience thought iris my 2nd times to milford sound after about 20 years. The coach was nice with glass top and the driver Russel provide commentary on the different aspect of NZ during the trip. There are a few short stops for viewing between Te Anau and milford sound, however, it was raining the entire day. The experience was interesting as raining you can see many waterfalls as compared to sunny day. The wind was strong and the boat get close to the waterfalls for a wet experience. Underwater observatory was good, however, due to rain, the water was not clear at 10m below surface. While we still see many fishes, etc, it properly will be better with clearer water when no orless rain. Overall a good experience and enjoyable trip thought long travel time.

Amazing. Milford is beautiful but scenery along the way is even better. Bus driver is rich in knowledge and humer. sorry dont remenber her name

Good

Long coach trip but very informative and well worth it.

Was an amazing experience! Our guide, Brad, drove safely and all the times very well mood making the trip excellent as well. I was afraid to not enjoy because the weather was too rainy, but Brad made sure, that will be better. And was true. Waterfalls full of beauty. Comfortable coach, modern and easy translator. The Wi-Fi worked just in the beginning, some minutes after, no signal. The boat was nice, powerful and silent. The lunch was the only part I am not totally satisfy. Medium buffet. The advertising showed much more. The food was ok. Don't worth it. Was difficult to listen The Capitan as well. All staff deserves my congrats. They are friendly and easy to communicate. I recommend the company. Want Next time 100% sure.

Was extremely happy? it was a fantastic day so happy I went

What a magical place with amazing views throughout the 600km return journey, great commentary by the driver as well, highly recommended

Me and my bf enjoy the Milford sound tour a lot! The bus driver is very experience and the tour guide is hilarious

We took a 8am flight to Milford on Friday with Elliot, he was a great pilot and very informative. We then took the jucy cruise in Milford which was also very informative and relaxing cruise , we flew back to queenstown on another relaxing flight . Air wakatipu and jucy cruise a great combination. Def worth it and would do it all again

The tour was nothing short of AMAZING! Our guide Jeff was spectacular and was very knowledgeable of the area! Milford Sounds is surreal and left my husband and me absolutely speechless! I highly recommend people do this instead of driving themselves. You learn so much about the area and history!!

Milford Sound is such a beautiful place, with awe-inspiring, other worldly scenery. I could just imagine dinosaurs or dragons suddenly appearing out of the mist.

Captain of the boat is very observant , sighted penguins in the bushes and we had no chance to do that . We were perplexed with sights , and beauty of Milford. Thank you team

Awesome trip! Our driver cowboy was very amoosing! Bus ride was smooth and despite the weather on the cruise it was wicked. Great scenary.

Good driver

What a great company! Service was excellent. Very friendly and helpful driver Johnny. Superb boat ride and lunch was yummy. A fab day out with JUCY would recommend 100 per cent. And we got sunshine! Thanks everyone involved it was memorable.

Long day but really enjoyed the experience. Bus driver was good and everything ran on time. Natural beauty was amazing.

An early start but well worth it! Our driver Oz was so great - really funny but also really informative. He knew everything there was to know about every point of interest during our 5 hour bus ride to Milford. The coach seats were comfy and we were able to stop for some great photo opportunities. The cruise itself was also great - lunch was yummy and the captain was also very informative. We were lucky to cruise on a lovely sunny day. Definitely would recommend Southern Discoveries!

Was a great trip- Jono was awesome, full of local knowledge.

A big thank you to Ray and his team for a great day; Te Anau to Milford, return. We were collected from our hotel in a modern 16 seater bus and received a informative and interesting commentary to and from Milford. Morning tea and packed lunch included and about 20 photo stops and short walks into the beautiful native bush including seeing several waterfalls. The 2 hour cruise on Milford Fiord/Sound was on a clean modern Cruise Milford NZ boat, again with an excellent commentary. This was a great day out (0800-1730ish) and we saw so much more than if we would have driven ourselves. Thank you Fiordland Tours?

The weather wasn't great the day started out overcast and we had a bit of rain, sleet and snow but not enough to dampen anyone's spirit. Our coach driver Pablo was fantastic, funny and informative through out the tour. My husband and I live in the north island and this was our first trip down south, I am of maori decent and want to say without a doubt this was one of the highlights of our holiday. We had planned to fly back to Queenstown from Milford but alas it was unsafe to do so and so after our amazing cruise out to the Tasman sea and back we returned by coach. A great day, spectacular views, friendly people and staff especially Pablo our premo safe driver...

It's a really really long way from Queenstown to Milford Sound. But on the journey, we have a great view and a chance to get off and take photos on some sites. The buffet was good, but it's hard to eat for a long time because the seats are tight and the ship is leaving. Milford Sound can be different from expectations and you can be disappointed because it is usually rainy. Even if it rains, don't stay in the cabin. Watch the Great Milford Sound at Top Deck. Prepare a raincoat or waterproof jacket. I prepared a packable windshield jacket. And you should protect your cell phone and camera from rain and waterfall. !Don't miss this trip!

Amazing experience! Outstanding flying and customer service by our pilot Jason.

Fantastic commentary on the bus, plenty of stops to stretch legs and take photos. Unfortunately we had pretty bad weather so hid inside the boat for most of the time. But the boat was great, food and beverages were top notch (good options incl. healthy food and not overpriced). Would not hesitate to book with Go Orange again.

Thank you Jucy Cruise for Good service.

We were unsure whether to drive to Milford or spend the money to fly & I'm so glad we chose the latter. The welcome & subtle weigh in was great, staff were all very friendly. The only thing needed before take off was possibly a 2nd toilet...took a while to queue for the facilities! The flight itself was amazing. We had a beautiful day for it, sunshine & clear skies. Our pilot, Karl was awesome pointing out the sights during the 40 min flight over the mountains & lakes. If anyone is thinking of doing this then please do...its an experience you wont forget!!

South Island robin on the Routeburn Track

Perfect flight with very experienced friendly and knowledgeable pilot. I couldn’t fault him even though he is an Ozzie.

We had great weather--not a cloud in the sky--and our guide Tobias was wonderful. We kayaked around 15km over 4 hours and enjoyed the peaceful beauty of Milford Sound. All gear is provided, just make sure to take insect repellent and a bag lunch/snacks.

Had an amazing time. It’s the best way to see and explore Milford Sound. It’s fun, personable and a great work out. All gear supplied (wetsuit, thermals, etc). Our guide was fantastic as well. Definitely worth doing if you’re going to Milford Sound.

Excellent guides, lots of new information and the tasting of 2 eatible plants.

When i came to New Zealand for the first time 7 years ago, i didn't know it was possible to do a day walk in the Milford Track. Unfortunately you have to book in advance (like one year before) if you want to do the whole track, and because of covid i wasn't sure that i could be able to do it. The best option was to do a day walk. After the booking, I received an email from the staff asking me when i wanted to start and when they can pick me up. I started at 8.30 am and i took the water taxi at 1 pm. So they give you plenty of time if you want to walk a little bit further than the Falls. the last boat is at 4.30 pm. I recommend totally !

The guide was very kind and funny! Explaining all the time everything around! The transport from Queenstown to Milford was excellent, with free water and air-con, small pauses during the trip to take photos and talk a bit about the regions. When we were there, wow, the scenery is totally breathtaking! Strongly recommend!

I would totally recommend miter peak cruises as my experience with them was out of this world. Safety is there number one priority so when I needed medical attention they went above and behold there call of duty. Thanks to all medical staff involved in flying me out and to the medic a big thank you to Steve the medic for making the right decision. ABIG AROHA to you all Regards Allison Clark

First, I want to thank the pilots, especially henry for his kindness to our boy and his great handling of the plane. #butterlanding The trip on the modern and luxurious cruise ship was also unforgettable and the views beautiful.

It was the most amazing day. The flight and scenery was incredible our pilot Elliott was amazing pointing out mountain areas and names, flying close just amazing. Our cruise was great, what a lovely country we live in. I would definitely put this on your 'to do' list.
