Perfect sized tour

Published on Feb, 2025

With 16 on our tour plus the guide, Sasha, it was the perfect size to ensure all questions were covered and everyone got to do what was important to them.

Incredible Day!

Published on Feb, 2025

Jason created quite a memorable day for us. His commentary, attention to details, and knowing when and where the best places to stop were incredible. We saw blue pools, Kea birds, incredible vistas. A lovely tea stop he provided by a calm reflecting lake. We arrived right on time at the boat for a spectacular cruise around Milford Sound. Because it was a beautiful sunny day he mentioned an add-on of going on a heli ride. We took our first heli ride ever and landed on a glacier. So WOW! Jason arranged all of it for us. An incredible day we will never forget!

A Lovely Trip!

Published on Feb, 2025

This was a comprehensive experience - Jason was an excellent guide. We stopped at several notable places along the way, looking for kias and admiring natural places. Jason made us a lovely a tea with cookies and warm drinks we enjoyed while admiring a beautiful lake and the surrounding mountains. On the way back we stopped at Mirror Lakes which are gorgeous - even though it was not calm enough to see the mirror effect, we got to see enough of a reflection and the spot itself was gorgeous. The boat trip and lunch were great. Staff were friendly and took people's pictures for them. The waterfalls on Milford Sound were spectacular. The sound itself is really beautiful and the guide on the boat was very knowledgeable about the area. I would do this visit again and bring others!

Excellent trip from Te Anau to Milford Sound.

Published on Feb, 2025

Great organisation from booking to end of tour. Picked up on time at our hotel and Tania, our tour guide and driver was very knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. Great stops on the way to Milford Sound. Boat trip was excellent. Return journey was safe and fun.. Tour lasted around 8-9 hours which is 5 less than doing it from Queenstown. Prepaid packed lunch option was great. Would highly recommend this company

Fabulous tour from Te Anau to Milford Sound and back

Published on Feb, 2025

Fabulous tour! We were picked up from our hotel in Te Anau by Jason and spent the day with a group of 16 traveling to and from our Milford Sound cruise. We stopped about 10 times at viewpoints and to see Kea (alpine parrot). Jason was fantastic, full of information and stories. It was an overcast day and there was some light rain, perfect to get the waterfalls flowing. The cruise was incredible, great commentary and of course extraordinary views.
