Milford Sounds
I took my 3 boys (3, 7 & 9 years old) in early July. We all enjoyed ourselves and it suited us best to catch the bus from Te Anau. The views were amazing we had blue skies and calm waters. I’d be keen to visit again when it’s raining. Our bus driver was very lovely and knowledgeable too! No pictures could do justice! Recommended+++

Excellent trip!
Would highly recommend this trip. Our coach was very comfortable and our driver Peanut was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of facts about the fiordlands on our way to Milford Sound. The cruise was also great! We saw dolphins and seals and of course the fiord itself is spectacular!

Second time
Had a fantastic time, the weather was brilliant, couldn't have been better. Despite having a rental car, chose to be picked up by coach. The second half of the route can be technically demanding so was fully aware that a coach running on a schedule from Queenstown could not make too many stops. However the scenery really deserved a few more stops.

Peacefull place
So fui pq um amigo insistiu, mas o milford sound é um lugar de uma paz incrível. O ônibus que nos levou até lá tinha teto de vidro e aquecimento/ ar condicionado. Ficamos confortáveis e encantados por todo trajeto. Meu inglês é ruim e o nosso motorista o Flash foi muito atencioso todo o tempo.
