I highly recommend this trip!! I am so glad we did not drive ourselves so we could enjoy the scenery throughout the drive. If you can, request Eric as your driver!! Eric is fantastic and very knowledgeable!! Due to weather our flight was cancelled the company helped us by making arrangements for us to return by helicopter with another tour company- they could have easy have said we needed to take the cruise back vs helping accommodate us. This tour was the highlight of our trip to NZ.
Fantastic!!! Seeing the Fiordland from both a boat and then high above was spectacular and even the bus ride there enabled us to have several great stops like at the Mirror Lakes.
For us, the combination of coach, cruise and flight was the best way. Glad to have joined the coach tour that allowed us to travel through Milford Sound Highway and stop by Mirror Lake, The Divide, etc. Our Grayline driver Roland was great. Milford Cruise used a smaller boat that allowed it to go near Stirling Falls which in turn gave us an enjoyable experience in soaking up glacier water. Hot beverages were on hand to warm our cold bones. Air Milford gave us a bird's eyeview of the Fiordlands and brought us back to Queenstown faster, I guess we were lucky to have had perfect weather.
Everything was well and promptly organized. Enjoyed it immensely! Recommend everyone! A well balanced combination of coach, cruise and scenic flight!
We loved traveling with Paulie on the coach to Milford Sound. He made what could have a long bus ride into an educational, fun trip. His knowledge about the plants and wildlife and entertaining stories about his hiking and paragliding adventures made the trip seem much shorter. Lots of stops for pics and toilet breaks. The boat ride on the sound was as gorgeous as advertised and the flight back although only 20 minutes was spectacular. Must have taken 50 pics with my phone. Definitely recommend as a perfect way to see and learn about a beautiful area of the South Island.
