Best trip I've done in nz in 7 years! Great job guys!
Really worth it!. Definitely must try
3 hours bus ride from Queenstown but the driver was very good, lively explanation of what we see on the way, stopping here and there for photos, drinking fresh mountain river water. The lake cruise stunning. Picnic basic but nice. Can definitely recommend this tour!
This is the way to do Milford! Worth every cent and you'll save about two days of your holiday doing it this way so you can do more stuff. The flights in and out equal the splendour of Milford itself.
Even though its cloudy, gloomy & rainy, me & my siblings love every single moments being there. ?
Quite far away from both Te Anau and Queenstown but worth visit, beautiful scenery but not very comfortable for free car parking which is far away to walk. The paid car park also quite expensive.
The cruise was such a wonderful experience, one shouldn't miss out in their new zealand trip.
First time in Milford sound with my kids and it never disappointed. Got up nice and close to waterfalls and seals etc well worth the trip.?
Awesome crew, fantastic boat and amazing scenery. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Thank you to Jucy and our crew!
Was so confused about which cruise to go on, apparently they are all quite similar but I really enjoyed Mitre Peak cruise. It seems they go a little bit more further out than most of the boats there, and stopped a bit to see some wildlife and go close the the waterfalls. The captain and crew were very informative and helped us take photos. The boat wasn't too large which I prefer so we wouldn't have to walk too much from the front of the boat to the deck.
We had an amazing and entertaining Coach Driver who was very informative and friendly. The tour itself to Milford sound and the Boat Cruise was WORTH it!!! I work in hospitality industry and I must applaud the team on the great customer service. Will surely recommend !! Well Done!
Pick up from Te Anau, wonderful trip to Milford Sounds, driver very nice. The cruise itself, 2h15, amazing ! Complimentary tea/coffee/hot chocolate / lunch for $10 if not included in your booking. Staff amazingly friendly !
The trip is amazing, but the key is the weather and get there in time.
Thank you for a wonderful coach and cruise. Such amazing natural beauty!! We want to especially thank Shale for being such a brilliant tour guide and making the bus trip so enjoyable.
Great. Experience
Although the view of the mountains was bad because of the rain, we got to see much more waterfalls. Wherever you looked there were waterfalls. Amazing. The size of this particular boat was smaller than you might expect, which was perfect. Not too many people (around 50). It was a very comfortable cruise, nice soft seats, coffee and thea as much as you like, easy to walk around, big windows and enough place outside to take your pictures. Also nice that it stopped about 3 times almost under a fall.
It was an amazing experience (the weather also behaved). We took the 11.10am tour and were amazed by the sights. What made it even more enjoyable was "Kiwi" history commentary by one of the maori guides. Being a Kiwi myself, I definitely appreciated it. Chinese commentaries were heard from other cruises.
Was a great experience despite the rain. We got to see the seals, penguins (bonus) and a pod of dolphins in the distance. There was self service hot tea and coffee onboard which was a great comfort from the cold outside. Went up close to the waterfalls. The only issue was the free car park which was about 20+mins walk away so was not fun to walk in the rain but would be cool on a fine day. Would still recommend, the cruise itself was a lot of fun and quite educational. Loved it!
I recently took the Milford Sound Cruise operated by Mitre Peak Cruises, and I must say that it was a breathtaking experience. The fjord, waterfalls, and wildlife in the area were nothing short of spectacular. The staff on board the vessel were knowledgeable and friendly, and the captain provided insightful commentary throughout the cruise, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The vessel was quite bumpy it might be due to the weather. Additionally, I found the price of the cruise to be quite expensive compared to other activities in the area. Nevertheless, Mitre Peak Cruises offer a cheaper price among all the operator. Overall, I would highly recommend the Milford Sound Cruise operated by Mitre Peak Cruises for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty of Milford Sound. Despite some minor drawbacks, I would rate my experience 4 stars out of 5.
We took the 9am cruise to avoid the crowd and found that this was a very good decision. We were extremely lucky, since it had been raining for 5 days, but the weather cleared up when we did our cruise. The Real Journeys staff were very friendly, the view from both the top deck and the lower deck was nice, and the toilets were clean. Everything contributed to an amazing experience.
We had a fabulous cruise on monday 8th May with Dennis and his staff. Dennis spotted a large pod of dolphins and they were amazing to watch. His commentary was excellent and we would highly recommend Go Orange for you Milford Sound cruise
Incredible experience.gtreat service.i would recommend this cruise for everyone.
We choose a midday cruise and we loved it! Very bright day and we have plenty of time from Te Anau before we reach Milford Sound. Kids had fun running around the ship from top deck to the lower one. Not so many people and it was like we have it all by ourselves. You can buy some snacks and drinks on board or you can bring your own. There is dining area inside and outside so you can choose your seat. The ship goes until almost the open sea, some other ship turn back even earlier than ours.
Took my parents to Queenstown it was their first trip.booked this cruise very well scheduled and informative driver?Parents and I had a great time and best feeling was to get soaked at the waterfalls. Def recommend these guys to my friends
I had a wonderful experience that I can never have in other place.I could see a fiordland penguin! That is my precious memory in my life.
Amazing landscape! Snow mountain, blue ocean, touchable waterfalls, cute penguins, lazy seals, wandering dolphin family, together friendly staff and clean tidy boat. In brief, unforgettable!
I don't want to repeat what so many others have said, but simply a must do trip if you come to the Queenstown area. The flights up and back were actually the highlight (for me anyway) as you see so many mountain peaks and glacial lakes. The cruise up Milford sound was also fantastic and good to see that they adapt it based on conditions etc.
Many thanks to the team at Miitre Peak. Captain and crew, as well as the staff at the kiosk. Great informative narrative from the captain, very friendly and approachable.
Great viewing ang experience
This is a highlight and this trip simply fantastic! Is is a scenic flight from Queenstown over snowy mountains till the beautiful fjord of Milford Sound! The boat trip over the fjord is almost therapy and sets your mind at ease: very relaxing. All in all an impressive nature experience!
Great host, comfortable bus trip, beautiful scenery and that all before you even get to the boat. Once on the Real Journeys cruise the Milford Sounds scenic cruise was everything we could have dreamed of. Even with rain and wind was such a breathtaking trip. Loved every moment. Would go back again and again. A must do for visitors and locals like. A+++++ ❤️
Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys great views and stunning landscapes!
Since our boat was smaller, we had less people on the cruise. It was easy to move around and take great pictures of the scenery.
This trip far exceeded my expectations. I was concerned about the long drive in the coach but our awesome tour guide Luke made it a very enjoyable journey. The coach with huge windows and a glass roof provided amazing views of the scenery and the frequent stops meant the drive felt much shorter. The sounds themselves were spectacular!
The boat was nice, the staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. Free tea and hot water. Beautiful views despite the weather
Absolutely wonderful day. Definitely recommend it ?
Great cruise nice boat and crew
Difficile de choisir entre toutes les compagnies qui proposent la visite du fjord. Finalement notre choix s est porté sur cette compagnie (merci bookme) et vraiment c était parfait petit bateau donc groupe acceptable (et non pas la foule) capitaine et son second très sympas et nous ont permis de se faire arroser sous les cascades et de voir des phoques et des pingouins !!! Et nous donner un tas d infos (bon on a pas tout compris ?)
Hi Jucy cruise team, It’s mission to get there, but enjoyed every bit of time we spent on the Cruze. Great crew, fantastic day and the experience- just out of this world. There were rainbows, multiple waterfalls, wildlife and so much history to observe in just one trip. Definitely recommend the Jucy premium. Staff onboard were the friendliest I have ever come across. Thumbs up to them making it a memorable trip for my Family. Especial thanks to the deck hand (red haired guy) who was just awesome during the trip. Great stuff Jucy....keep up the wonderful job that makes a difference in ones life Raj & Family.
What any amazing trip on Milford sound. Excellent staff and great vessel. Milford Sound at its best plus pod of dolphins followed us all the way back up the sound.
Wonderful coach and cruise to Milford Sound. The coach driver was very knowledgeable giving good insights. A smooth drive from Queenstown to Milford Sound. A few things could be improved to have a similar experience to guests- the rooftop glass window doesn't cover all, which is understandable considering other necessities, but could relook at how this can be made better; fantastic lunch but not enough tables especially with non Southern Discoveries booking the table for their clients; and finally just 3 stops for journey which has 15 scenic stops is pretty low. Overall still an enjoyable trip.
An absolutely amazing experience with this company and I highly recommended them. We were lucky enough to get outstanding weather on our trip which helped however i would not hesitate in travelling with them again .
The weather was beautiful, which certainly helped our cause. The drive was efficient and we had a smaller your group so we were able to stop and take photos at all the scenic places and do so leisurely. Tour guide was funny and loved to teach us little tidbits and tell and domestic and many local Maori legends. Our guide (Cowboy) was so pleasant and he made the tour what it was! The boat in Milford sound was clean, modern, and not too crowded so we really got the best experience. Saw seals and dolphins, which apparently isn't that common and Milford sound does not have its own resident dolphins pod. They swam along and played around the boat. Drive back was more relaxed but Cowboy got us home safely and efficiently. He gave is many insider tips about where to go and dine in Queenstown. Would definitely Recommend Milford Select.
Waterfall watching
not crowded, got free food, & offer same service with cheaper price. its good..though its a sunny day, so we cant see the hundred cascading waterfall
Fantastic and friendly
Awesome day, wonderful trip, great hosts! Would definitely recommend.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. We got up really close to the waterfalls which added to the experience!! Would definitely recommend!!
