Doorkruis Milford NZ - ervaar een kleinschalige cruise
Beschrijving
Gewaardeerd als een van de Top 10 ervaringen in Nieuw-Zeeland. Ga mee met onze boutique kleine bootcruise en ervaar Milford Sound op de "lokale" manier. We beperken het aantal passagiers op alle cruises tot de helft van de capaciteit van de boten (capaciteit 150 passagiers) om een rustige en veel persoonlijkere ervaring te garanderen. Laat ons u onze achtertuin laten zien op deze once in a lifetime ervaring. Ontspan met gratis koffie, thee en koekjes en geniet van het live commentaar van de schipper terwijl u zich verwondert over het adembenemende landschap. De kleinere afmetingen van het schip stellen ons in staat om u van dichtbij en persoonlijk te laten kennismaken met de lokale fauna zoals Nieuw-Zeelandse pelsrobben, dolfijnen en de zeer zeldzame Fiordland Crested Penguin (lente/vroege zomer). Een “Glacial Facial” onder de Sterling Falls is een ervaring die je niet mag missen.

Het leukste van Milford Sound-cruises is dat het weer geen roet in het eten kan gooien! Op een zonnige dag is het prachtig en op een natte dag spectaculair. Fiordland heeft een aantal van de hoogste watervallen van de wereld: een populaire bezienswaardigheid van Milford Sound. Onder alle weersomstandigheden ziet u water naar beneden stromen langs enorme rotsen naar de zee. Milford Sound ligt in Fiordland National Park, dat deel uitmaakt van Te Wahipounamu, een locatie op de werelderfgoedlijst die 26.000 km² beslaat en waarin vier nationale parken liggen. Het wordt algemeen beschouwd als een van 's werelds topbestemmingen. Bij Cruise Milford weten wij dat u tijdens uw Milford Sound-cruise een fantastische en onvergetelijke dag zult hebben. We delen de natuurlijke schoonheid van deze bijzondere plek graag met bezoekers en uw kapitein geeft u informatie over de Sound, de geschiedenis ervan en de wilde dieren die er leven.

I got on the bus at Te Anau driver/guide a great person with humor. We had so much fun during the bus tour. It wasn’t that boring which is out of our expectation. The the cruise itself is also fun. We love the part when the boat drive under the waterfall. The weather is good as well after the tour our driver gave us a lot of stops at different spots, which enriched our experience and got back earlier for some sunsets such a great day. The power where I love the most is there food prepared for us. They are very careful and considerate. They gave us a delicious sandwich and a lot of snacks.
A friend arrived from the Wairarapa and had never travelled to Milford Sound. The trip in blew him away. Just the transformation of landscape in such a short travel time. To top it off we did the Cruise with the Cruise Milford team. The Skipper Dan and accomplished crew Georgie and Faye absolutely completed the trip for us with their valued complimentary for the Region and care and passion for their passengers. On return and thanking all visitors was the Head Skipper Roger alongside the crew for the day. Do I rate this trip, absolutely 100%.
Beautiful area and the cruise was amazing. The crew was great and the stops were wonderful. It was a great company. The only part that was hard was we couldn't hear the commentary which we enjoy. We liked being out on the deck and didn't want to go inside but it was hard to understand what was being said.
Amazing boat trip. Multiple waterfalls due to rain. Absolutely incredible 🫰it was a truly life experience and i highly recommend it
We had a great time. Everything went smoothly. The company can't take credit for the views but it was not over full and it felt very comfortable.
I would like to praise the service we had at Cruise Milford. We arrived late for the ride in the competitor next door and Léo realized that we were Brazilians and offered an hour 30 minutes earlier. But, we ended up with the last time, because there were fewer people, since we were staying at Milford sound was a very good proposal. The company provides coffee, tea and cookies at will without charging for it. And as informed by IA, this company was the only one that came so close to nature, as it had the smaller boats and with reduced capacity, which makes the ride more pleasant compared to the competition. The people who stayed outside literally took a waterfall bath. The day was beautiful and sunny and everything flowed perfectly. In addition, we were able to see dolphins and the pilot of the boat waited for a few good minutes patiently so that we could enjoy this beautiful moment. I thank Leo for his patience with our indecision and for approaching us without any commitment and making our tour a special day.
Amazing experience and we got up and close to some amazing waterfalls. Staff were great with knowledge and able to help capture the beautiful sights by taking pictures of us - thank you so much.
A must-do activity when travelling the South Island. Friendly service, a seamless experience, and breathtaking scenery throughout the drive & cruise. Slightly overpriced, but understandable given the remote location and logistics involved. Well worth it for the experience.
Absolutely amazing great crew, so much room on the boat. Highly recommend!
I was so looking forward to this cruise, only to be left extremely disappointed, wet and cold! Unsure how this could be described as a ‘small boutique cruise’, it was nightmare fuel, the amount of people was excessive for the size of the boat. The trip should have been cancelled or we should have been given the option to reschedule or get a refund due to weather (which was noted by the guide as over 100ml of rain having fallen and 100km winds). The trip was extremely rough, and my partner and I were counting down the seconds until it was over! Having paid over $300 (not to mention fuel costs for the 8 hour drive there and back) for this was actually awful. And to hear over the radio comms another tour guide asking about the conditions on the water and whether another tour should proceed and our guide saying “everyone is out on deck with smiles on their face” was a blatant lie! Clearly this company don’t care about the quality of the tour/satisfaction of the customers and are in it for a cash grab, very, very disappointing!
Hi Briana, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly after the effort and expense involved in traveling to join us. The safety of our passengers and crew is always our highest priority, and all departures are assessed carefully against marine safety requirements before proceeding. While conditions can sometimes be perceived uncomfortable, the tour only operates when it is deemed safe to do so. We are concerned to hear that you felt our boat was overcrowded, our vessels are surveyed for 150 passengers. Upon checking our system, we had 74 people on board on your particular departure. To clarify and so you are aware, though we can carry up to 150 guests on board, we limit each cruise departure to 50% of what our capacity allows (75 passengers). To put this into perspective, there are other larger vessels in Milford Sound that can carry up to 400 guests and so we are very much on the smaller end of the scale when it comes to how many guests we allow on our cruises. You may have also misheard what the wind speed and rain fall was for the day. The Metservice website confirmed the maximum wind speed for the 31st May 2026 was 56km/h and we had a total of 216mm of rain on the day. This is quite normal for Milford Sound as it is a rainforest and we record our rainfall per year in meters (7-8m of rain every year). You can check past weather readings on this website: https://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/regions/southland/locations/milford-sound/past-weather We feel your comment regarding us being in it for the cash grab is unfair. As mentioned previously, we purposefully limit our capacity by half to create more space for guests. We would have very much appreciated you raising your concerns with us on the day either at our counter in Milford Sound or by contacting our reservations team directly, so we could have discuss your concerns in a bid to remedy any matters- whether that would be rescheduling options or a refund. We have also received another review on TripAdvisor for the same cruise you went on (review was left on June 1st) with very different feedback. We pride ourselves on providing efficient, friendly and conscientious customer service and an experience in Milford Sound to match- though we fully understand and take on board that your experience did not meet expectations like it may have done for other guests. We do value all feedback, both positive or otherwise, as it helps us review our operations and improve the experience for future guests. We hope you enjoy the rest of your Winter holiday in New Zealand. Kind regards, The Cruise Milford Team
