Amazing Experience

Even if you have a camper or a car, take the coach tour. It was brilliant from start to end. Our driver Keith was superb, very friendly and knowledgable, and told us all sorts about everything! There were plenty of comfort breaks and photo stops. The roads were very bendy so being on the coach instead of driving was a relaxing way to do the journey. The boat cruise was stunning and the picnic lunch delicious. Well worth the money. Would highly recommend!

Incredible

We had a great time on our tour. The bus driver was very informative and up beat. Coach was clean with big windows. The boat had plenty of seats and the picnic lunch was very good and we couldn't eat it all.

Stunning tour

The driver who was also our guide tour was spectacular. He explained us lots of things in the Milford sound' way. He did a couple of stops to let us enjoy the amazing sceneries. The tour is highly recommendable, it worth it from the very beginning to the end.
