Milford Sound

If you’re not sure if you should bother then think again . Amazing and beautiful natural experience. The drive was fine and going through the tunnel was a great experience. RealNZ provided a very comfortable and enjoyable cruise. All amenities onboard were first rate from helpful and knowledgeable staff to refreshments . Great day out!

Milford Sound

One of the most stunning locations I have yet visited Our cruise was excellent, efficiently run and well Guided during the voyage. Marvellous to hear not only hear of the history and geology but to get informed about tte flora and fauna. Our guide was humorous too and that often makes a difference. Our only criticism was the queing system onto the vessel. We Brits like a queue and if you have bothered to get to the front you deserve to get on first. Your system allows queue jumping and that’s a minor frustration.

Worst tour I’ve ever had

Strong deep frying food smell all the time, both internal and external; guide spoke in a lifeless manner; the view was so normal that definitely not worth the 5hr (one way) mountain road drive from Queenstown and 100 dollar tour fee. We took Haven ship, it looked like the oldest one there
