Exhilarating and informative

Published on Jan, 2025

If you are thinking about booking this, then definitely do it. It’s a well organised tour of one of the natural wonders of the world, we got to kayak and swim in the sound, and saw dolphins and seals along the way. The crew are really lovely and Ro was a superb nature guide, offering insights into landscape, wildlife and Māori history and culture from the land. Informative and fun, the living quarters and food were great, and we were basically the only boat on the Fjord.

Simply amazing and very special.

We booked the tour as an overnight cruise to spend more time than with usual cruise in the Milford Sound and it was absolutely amazing. The crew was extremely friendly and welcoming, the food was very delicious and the cabins are very nice. The best part though were very very insightful explanations provided with a lot of background information on the rich history and geography of New Zealand. Being Moari herself, our guide provided us with very detailed and authentic information. Thank you! Special were the water activities where we could do kayaking and jumping from the ship into the amazing clear water. Swimming in the Milford Sound! In addition to that, we even got to see two different species of dolphins as well as seals. Thank you for the great tour!

Marvellous Milford

Published on Dec, 2024

The Milford Mariner overnight cruise is an excellent experience. Milford Sound is absolutely stunning. Nice little cabin with ensuite & radiator (bring a small rucksack / overnight bag ). Great dinner & breakfast. Bar on board (card, not cash). Be prepared for wet weather - it poured with rain but that did make the waterfalls even more spectacular. Short trips in tenders or kayaks offered - wet if raining! Wonderful scenery. Unmissable experience.

Amazing experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Everything about this cruise was just perfect - the breathtaking scenery, the food, the cabin, the crew and the fellow passengers. Went for a Te Anau pickup and our bus driver Luke did a great job and we made a couple of stops along Milford Rd on the way.

Worth it!

Highly recommend! Once in a lifetime experience that provides so much more than a simple day tour from Queenstown. We took the coach from Queenstown which I would also highly recommend as it doesn’t just free you from driving but also adds a ton of value! Our driver was Ryan and he provided a lot of great information (and jokes) as we drove and made sure we stopped at the best places for photos. The whole Real NZ crew were amazing and made our experience 5 stars. Kayaking in the sound was the highlight of my trip. Also loved the nature presentation from Sarah and getting to meet other travelers at dinner.
