Milford Sound is even better in real life than in pictures. The flight over the glaciers and fjords was incredible, and the cruise let us see everything up close. Arranging the tour was hassle-free, and I can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again.

Flying over Milford Sound in the winter is something I’ll never forget. The cruise let us see everything up close, including seals and some incredible waterfalls. Signing up for the tour was easy, and it felt like the whole day was designed to let us fully experience this amazing place.

I booked this tour last minute, and I’m so glad I did. The flight alone was worth it—the views of the Southern Alps were absolutely stunning. The cruise added a whole new perspective, with massive waterfalls and wildlife all around us. It’s the kind of experience that leaves you feeling lucky to have witnessed something so beautiful. I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know.

Milford Sound is beautiful from the ground, but from the air? It’s next level. The flight over glaciers and valleys felt like something out of a nature documentary. The cruise was amazing too, especially when we got close to the falls. Everything was easy to sort out ahead of time, and the tour was paced perfectly. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

This tour was next-level amazing. Flying over the glaciers and landing in Milford Sound felt like stepping into a dream. The boat cruise was the perfect follow-up—peaceful and packed with incredible sights like Stirling Falls and lush, green cliffs. I used this site to book, and their service was spot-on. If you’re craving a mix of adventure and jaw-dropping scenery, this is the tour for you.

Absolutely fantastic! One of the best highlights of our 2 week vacation in New Zealand. We had intended driving to Milford Sound however time was limited therefore this was the perfect trio. We had already been let down with bad weather conditions flying out from Wanaka therefore this was our last opportunity and we were not disappointed. Fabulous plane ride and boat cruise 🥰
