Gigantisch

Mit Stan als sehr humorvollen und sympathischen Reiseführer hat der Ausflug schon ideal begonnen. Wir haben mehrere Stops auf dem Weg gemacht und einiges lernen können. Die Bootstour durch die Fiorde von Milford Sound war fantastisch! Abgesegen von dem sehr leckeren Buffet war der Service sehr gut. Milford Sound an sich ist einfach gigantisch! Die Berge mit ihren Wasserfällen vom Wasser aus zu sehen war jeden Cent wert! Das sollte man nicht missen. Wir haben sogar ein paar Robben gesehen. Die Tour ist definitiv eine Empfehlung.

Schöner Tagesausflug in eine traumhafte Gegend

Der Ausflug war sehr gut organisiert und Ian, unser Busfahrer war sehr daran interessiert, uns möglichst viele Informationen über die Gegend zu geben. Auf der Fahrt zum Sound haben wir ein paar Stopps eingelegt, zb an den Mirror Lakes. Die Bootstour auf dem Sound an sich war traumhaft- einziges Manko: das Buffet auf dem Boot war nicht erwähnenswert

Schöne Tour durch super Landschaft

Die Tour nach Milford Sound war genauso wie erwartet. Man verbringt viel Zeit im Bus, da eine weite Strecke zurückgelegt werden muss. Die Tour an sich war trotzdem sehr schön. Unsere Busfahrerin Lou hat viel über die Gegend, die Vögel und Neuseeland im Allgemeinen erzählt, was sehr interessant war. Die Bootstour war etwas enttäuschend, was am Wetter liegen könnte. Es gab immer noch einige Infos und das Essen an Bord war gut, aber ich hatte irgendwie erwartet mehr zu sehen. Doch dafür können die Veranstalter ja nichts. Die Rückfahrt im Bus war recht entspannt. Es gab zwar nicht mehr viele Informationen, aber wir haben einen Film geguckt, der auch mit der Geschichte Neuseelands zusammenhängt.

Not quite as expected

Booked for 2 with pick up from Te Anau. We have a car, however I was excited to experience the glass roof-top bus. Booked for 10am & expected we would return around 6pm latest (2hr drive to/from Milford, + 2hr boat). There was NO glass rooftop coach/bus, just a small 10-15 person shuttle. The driver told us we would be back around 7pm as our boat would not leave until 2:30pm (moved from 1:30pm). Arrived back 7:10pm. The driver made lots of stops on the way as we had time to kill. Was starving by the time we boarded boat at 2:30pm and there was NO buffet lunch (another reason why I booked this tour). The lady at reception said the boat was too small, however there was an entire buffet set up on board. Very confusing and disappointed with my dry chicken sandwich. Overall, okay. Did not meet expectations. Next time, I would drive myself.
