The whole trip was an adventure. From being picked up on time and the fantastic drive into Milford. Loved Brad’s (bus driver) easy manner and knowledgeable commentary. The whole day went smoothly from bus to boat. Well done to all involved.

The whole experience. We can’t pick one thing. It was great to be able to see so many waterfalls and get up close to the two big ones. The grandure of the mountains. Wonderful wonderful day.

The coach ride was good with the commentary. Boarding the boat was chaotic and we had to wait for half an hour.

Not getting seat together on bus on way to milford sound, then
On return trip managed to get seats together but having people arguing they were their seats not a good experience for money you pay

Absolutely stunning scenery, bus driver was very knowledgeable and easy to listen too. Bus drivers driving was very comfortable. This is a highly recommended trip +AAA

Kerry_B, Apr 2021
great trip, but we got on in Te Anau. I booked 2 seats. we went to get on bus but was told to wait as family of 7 was let on first. As a result we could not sit together which even now I am very unhappy about. There was also 2 or 3 very young children on it. for the length of the bus trip crying children took soome of the gloss off. Driver was very good and cruise was also good.
