Simply an amazing experience, perfectly executed by fabulous people. From the moment you embark to the moment you disembark everything is faultless. The best way to experience Milford Sound in all it's glory - just do it, I defy you to be disappointed!
This was easily the highlight of a trip full of highlights. The staff was incredible, made us feel like royalty. The food was top notch, and the boat was breathtaking. Our original trip to Milford Sound had to be moved to Doubtful Sound due to a road outage. The owners went above and beyond to make sure our trip went uninterrupted. I would recommend this cruise even at twice the price. An unforgettable experience. Thank you to the captain, owners, and all the staff.
The service was warm and friendly. The dinner was delicious, as was the breakfast. Kayaking was fun but less time than desired (only allowed for about 20-30 minutes).
Very enjoyable stay on the Fiordland Discovery. Milford Sound was gorgeous, the crew was wonderful, the food was tasty - our family was in the bunk room. Beds were comfortable but it was hot. A great way to see the Sound without rushing back to Queenstown in one day!
