Prisbelönt Milford Sound Heldagstur & Kryssning från Te Anau

We did our tour on a very wet weather day which meant there were so many waterfalls and the moody clouds made for spectacular photos. Our guide Tarnya was absolutely awesome. Her commentary was very informative & having experienced x2 earthquakes the night before for the first time, she was very reassuring to us. The picnic lunch was delicious and the boat ride (bad dad jokes aside 😉) was something we’ll never forget. We loved our whole experience.

We were so lucky to have Sacha as our driver and guide, so friendly , helpful and knowledgeable. Sacha made sure everyone was well taken care of with lots of stops and photo opportunities. We enjoyed both a fresh and delicious morning tea and lunch. The boat ride through Milford Sound is an amazing experience, I was worried about the rainy weather but all the waterfalls were just breathtaking. Chris was our skipper and we were entertained with both his commentary about Milford Sound and his sense of humour. Lachie was so polite and friendly and wanting to lend a helping hand to everyone. Tea , coffee and biscuits supplied for the boat journey. We had such an amazing day and couldn’t fault anything from start to finish.

Stephen was a great guide and driver. The experience was incredibly well organised, and it was lovely to be part of a smaller group and really get to enjoy it. An incredible day with great views. Highly recommend booking this!

Having a driver was great, as the road to Milford Sound can be challenging, especially on a rainy day. Unfortunately, the rain meant Mirror Lakes weren’t as reflective as they usually are, but we were lucky enough to see lots of Kea birds, which were very entertaining. We even saw a small avalanche along the way, which was pretty amazing! The Milford Sound cruise itself was fantastic, with plenty of waterfalls, breathtaking scenery and a truly magical atmosphere. The packed lunch was also a pleasant surprise and much better than I expected. It was more than just a sandwich, with fruit, chocolate, cheese and crackers included. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I really enjoyed the tour. My only criticism would be that the tour felt a little rushed on the way to Milford Sound because the tour was running behind schedule and we needed to catch the cruise. I understand there wasn’t much flexibility with the timing, but it meant we couldn’t stop at many scenic spots or have much time to take photos along the way. On the way back, however, the weather had cleared and the sun was out, and we arrived back around 3:30pm. As the tour was advertised as 9.5 hours, I hadn’t planned anything afterwards. I would have loved to have stopped at a few more scenic spots or been given a little more time to take photos, especially with the better weather. The scenery along the road was beautiful, so it felt like a missed opportunity not to make the most of it. Overall, it covered the essentials, but there is definitely room for improvement to make the experience more enjoyable.

Jamie was the host with the most on our tour to Milford Sound. He’s been doing this for decades, and knew a few spots for photos that most people drive past or look in the opposite direction. Pick up was easy and on time. The weather was a little iffy in Te Anau itself, but it fined up on the Sound. Morning tea was a great photo stop, and the Kea came out to play. Lunch was excellent, and the cruise was fantastic. Though there wasn’t a lot of wildlife to be seen, it was still a great day.

This is an outstanding trip. Our local guide, Steven, was excellent. Lots of information and stories and so engaging with everyone on the tour. The stops were well timed in great locations, with a great morning tea provided. As well, the lunch provided for the boat trip was extremely tasty and more than we expected. Great boat trip with commentary on board too. I would highly recommend this tour.

This trip was the best part of out trip around South Island. The tour guide Tania did a great job explaining all the details of the Milford Sound. What we liked the most about this tour was not only her delightful sense of humour and but also the careful driving skills she took us to the destination. We felt really secure along the way to the Milford Sound and on our way back to the accommodation. The lunch was great and we really enjoyed it. I understand what made people give them the highest reviews. Kea is the cherry on top of this journey. I feel becoming more aware of the importance of preserving the nature including wildlife. Thank you all.

I did the Milford sounds Day tour from Te Anau. This was an excellent tour and well worth the money. Our tour guide Tania was great. She seemed very passionate about the area and her role. I think the smaller group size was great. Very convenient with hotel pick up also. Great stops along the way as well. Can highly recommend this tour and company. I think it was well worth the cost.

Tour was definitely the way to go! We felt very comfortable going with someone experienced with driving the road and who understood the conditions etc Tania from Fiordland was very knowledgeable and someone who genuinely wanted you to have a great day :-) Thank you!

This was hands down one of the best experiences of the trip. The tour was fantastic, professional, on time. Our tour guide, Tania, was fantastic. She kept us informed at every step but she also had some incredible spots along the way. You can tell she is a local and knows the area very well which was great for us. We were picked up exactly on time, even the van was comfortable. It is absolutely worth leaving a little earlier, the road and the stops are a bit quieter and the weather is perfect. I would recommend this tour to everyone, I will do it again if I am ever lucky enough to travel back. Thank you Tania for an incredible day!
