Everything about this was absolutely amazing! The scenery, kayaking, swimming, food and guest services were 5 star! I was initially concerned by the cost, but now I would highly recommend booking it NOW if you can! 5⭐️’s doesn’t seem enough!

During our Milford Sound...

Published on Feb, 2025

During our Milford Sound trip, we had an amazing time with Fiordland Discovery. Francis and the crew were incredible! They told us all about the history and geography of the area, and their stories made everything feel so real. They were exceptionally personable, although there were 12 of us, it felt like a private trip and the crew joined us in our adventures, further elevating our trip. And the food! Chef Chris is a master. Every dish was delicious and he used fresh ingredients that made it feel like it was a five star restaurant on the sound! The views from Fiordland Discovery were absolutely stunning. We could see towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls and lush greenery everywhere we looked. It was like being in a real-life postcard! This is a MUST-DO in New Zealand! This experience alone would be worth a trip from the states!

A definite must do experience.

This is a definite must! The crew are absolutely wonderful and work so well together. They go above and beyond with everything they do and how welcome they make you feel. From the moment you board, everything is just hassle free. Beings a smaller ship, our cruise was a relatively intimate experience. Plenty of room for everyone though. The food was absolutely delicious and presented perfectly. We were fortunate that we had rain overnight which meant the waterfalls were spectacular next morning. This is a truly amazing experience and the crew make it so.

Magical, Surreal, Not to be missed

Published on Feb, 2025

My teenage daughter and I from Australia had the most incredible experience with Fiordland Discovery—truly the highlight of our trip! The small group setting made it easy to connect with both the crew and fellow guests. The food was the best we had in New Zealand, with a wonderful chef who catered to all dietary needs. The girls on the ship were lovely going the extra mile for everyone!!! and Jack and Joe who also help run the family owned company were outstanding hosts—true gentlemen whose families should be proud!!! The vessel was modern, spotless, and perfectly suited for taking in the breathtaking scenery—dolphins, seals, waterfalls, and postcard-perfect views everywhere we looked. And a special shoutout to Lance, our van driver from Queenstown to Milford. He wasn’t just a driver; he was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! His knowledge, humor, and easygoing nature made the 4-hour journey fly by. Lance deserves a coffee voucher!! This trip was pure magic, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Great experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Loved this overnight adventure. We had been to Milford Sound before on a large cruise ship so I wasn’t sure how this could improve on that. But honestly very different experience, getting to Kayak and swim and sit out and watch sunset and sunrise so lovely. Not to mention seeing the dolphins swimming alongside us. Jack and his crew were lovely, food was good, so glad we did this experience. Definitely recommend.
