Review of Fiordland Tours’ small-group Milford Sound day trip from Te Anau, with scenic stops, nature cruise, wildlife, lunch details, and booking advice.

“The trip to Milford was good. The bus driver was on his first day but still he had lots of good information about the journey. The boat trip was good too with excellent commentary. Packed lunch tasty. We stopped quite a few times on the return journey when all I wanted to do was get back to Te Anua and get off the bus. It’s a long day!”

“Going on this trip allows you to enjoy the drive to Milford Sound without the stress. Geoff our guide was really great - lots of information on the journey there and back and a great sense of humour. Even though the day was overcast in the morning it made for some atmospheric scenery. The boat cruise was very good with not many people on board and friendly staff. The rain came in the afternoon but that meant we saw lots of new waterfalls on the way back. Really recommend this day trip”

“our bus driver John was superb. his knowledge and passion for the area was remarkable. I'm from Pembroke in West Wales and grew up opposite St Anne's Head at the mouth of the river Cleddau. Milford Sound was stunning and the weather was great. Glass topped bus made for great viewing enroute and back to Te Anau. Highly recommend 👌!”
