Reviews: New Zealand Milford Sound 1-Day Tour | Panoramic Bus + Fjord Cruise + Optional Buffet Lunch
Guest User2026-01-20
We took the tour from Te Anau. We stopped at many places on the way to Milford Sound, allowing us to take photos. You can buy lunch on the Milford Sound cruise, or bring your own. We were grateful for the free coffee, tea, and water. We were able to see many incredibly high cliffs and really get a feel for the sheer scale of the place.★

Reviews: Queenstown scenic round-trip flight + Milford Sound / Piopiotahi cruise - time-saving and effortless
Guest User2025-10-07
It took four adjustments before I finally got to board the plane and see the fjord, but it was totally worth the hassle!! The owner was incredibly responsible, answering all my questions patiently and explaining everything thoroughly. They even proactively helped with potential itineraries and held onto my booking.
Moreover, my final itinerary's weather check time and depth time were 1 AM China time. I was prepared to confirm them myself by phone, but the owner stayed up that late to help me confirm—I was so touched! I highly recommend this place!! Choosing this was definitely the right decision!!!★

Reviews: New Zealand Milford Sound / Piopiotahi 1-Day Tour - 16-Person Group + Mercedes Travel Van + Cruise + Lunch
Guest User2025-12-03
I booked one day and went the next. It was a small group with few people, and the foreign driver/guide was beautiful, kind, and incredibly attentive. She provided detailed explanations throughout the trip, stopped at every attraction to take photos for us, and even prepared local plant information and drew a diagram explaining the formation of the fjords. On the way back from the boat, she thoughtfully provided chocolates and umbrellas for when it rained. The customer service was also very patient, assisting us whenever we were worried about getting lost. A great experience!★

Reviews: Milford Sound Day Tour from Queenstown
Guest User2024-07-28
We really enjoyed the bus trip there with our driver Shailendra who was very informative, insightful and fun. The cruise had some beautiful scenery despite the weather not being as good. The bus ride home was very long and quite a long day on the whole was the only downside for us but enjoyable experience on the whole.
