Absolutely stunning experience! The Milford Sound cruise offered breathtaking views of the mountains, waterfalls, and wildlife. The crew was friendly and informative, and the whole trip was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the journey into Milford and back. We went on a rainy day and there really were 1000’s of waterfalls. I don’t know how anything can better that experience. The Milford Haven was fantastic and the staff were excellent.
Terrific experience. We'll worth it. One of the best views on out bus trip.
1/5. Was pretty silent for a place with “Sound” in the name. No music whatsoever and I came prepared!! 🚫🔈 Should be Milford Fjord
Beautiful cruise, done in the rain so with a greater number of waterfalls. Two hours are a bit boring as the view is always the same
Boat clean, comfortable. Staff and guides friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional
We were lucky with the weather, it was a beautiful day in a beautiful place. The guide was informative. The parking was over the top expensive- $10/hr. We thought you should have got free parking with the amount you pay for the cruise. The cafe had absolutely no water so you couldn't go to the toilet or wash your hands. We were told "they have run out of water" Funny, as on the cruise the guide said all the water, right down to the water used in the coffee comes from the waterfall there. You think they could get some to the cafe and information area. There was a portable toilet in the carpark... too bad if you had mobility issues because it was on a trailer.
Had a great time out on the sound. It was very windy and didn’t see any wildlife but still had a great time. We did go in winter, it was sunny but very choppy. Beautiful views and very friendly crew.
We travelled 5hrs to get our 11am due to road closures & blizzard conditions. They would not wait if 5mins late so had to book 1:30pm. Arrived 1250 after hanging in cafe for over 1hr. We got pass & told could board 1:15. 1:45 finally allowed on to an old run down rusty boat. We ordered food from cafe then 2:15 they announced not going as 90 Asian passages arrived late & didn’t hv 90 seats for them! Then said since 60knots to windy for people to sit outside. Go pure nz more money lovely boat & they left 1::30 not to windy v then. So livid we travelled from Australia for this cruise. Realnz is a tour company with buses they get priority to self drive!! Avoid this company! they let my partner order beer 5mins before cancelling knowing he was over the limit. The staff were apologetic, but we had a 10hr drive there & back & the Asian tour had priority ridiculous. One chance in our life time to see Milford sound.
