Great day, thoroughly enjoyed it. Spectacular scenery all the way into Milford Sound, and of course, once on the cruise around the Sound. Delayed coming back to Queenstown due to snow storm. Driver got us back as quickly as possible under the awful conditions.

Great day trip. Driver/ guide was very knowledgeable and funny. Coach was very comfortable, huge windows so great view all around. Well planned rest stops/ toilet breaks. Cruise itself was great, got really close to the waterfalls. Captain of ship also great with information. A long but enjoyable day thanks

Paulie our driver was excellent. He was so passionate about his job and showing us all the beautiful sites along the way. He was happy to answer any questions we had and made our trip as smooth as possible. He told so many stories and told us so much knowledge of the land around. I would 100% book a future trip with paulie as our tour guide and driver
