Premium Milford Sound Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown

Chen_C, Jul 2026

Very very very very very money worth. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ( very highly ).

The landscape and nature is extremely beautiful. Free coffee and tea, close up on waterfalls and extremely cool animals (penguins and seals). 10/10 very money worth. The driver also was very friendly and gave a lot of cool, fun facts. The photo opportunities are low-key crazy not even gonna lie. all facts and no opinions. This is my opinion and if you have a different opinion, your wrong.

Excellent experience

True South was an absolutely outstanding experience. Our flight cruise flight was organized and ran on time. Jason was a great pilot and knowledgeable about the surroundings. If you are nervous about taking this trip, you should jump in with two feet and fly with True South.

Mitai Maori Village Cultural Experience in Rotorua

Kerrie_E, Jul 2026

Miati Māori Village

We were advised by our friends here in New Zealand that this experience was one not to be missed. From pick up by our friendly Māori bus driver to returning back to our hotel, our experience was truly amazing. The village is beautiful and authentic, and the hangi was especially tasty, you will not leave hungry there is so much delicious food and dessert. The traditional cooking method takes a long time and the results are amazing, I am actually a qualified Chef and have never experienced food cooked this way. Everyone is soo incredibly welcoming in New Zealand and especially at our visit to the village last night. I’m so glad we were able to go.

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch

Leilani_P, Jul 2026

This was a great...

This was a great experience! Our guide, Danny was very knowledgeable and gave our tour group a lot of information about New Zealand. He even made a bonus stop for a couple of younger kids in the van a chance to feed an ostrich. For the rest of us, we stopped for ice cream on the way back to Auckland, definitely go with his recommendation of hokey pokey or boysenberry flavors. The Hobbiton tour was excellent and a lot of fun as was the Waitomo cave tour, although we enjoyed the Hobbiton tour more. The Waitomo cave tour seemed to be a little light on staff members as we were split into 2 different boats and at the end of the tour, for our boat, there was no staff around to let us know how and where to exit. The included lunch was very tasty as there were a variety of options available.

Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ Lunch & Queenstown Lake Cruise

Racheal_M, Jul 2026

Great experience. Wish it was longer

Great experience. It was an amazing boat ride up the lake & over to the beautiful farm. Very scenic, cool to ride on the steam boat and lovely food. Just wish the overall time on the farm was a little longer. I feel like we went straight from boat to restaurant and then had to quickly finish meal to go and watch farm show (hard/rushed when trying to serve self and young kids as well as lining up for food) and then once the farm show was over, basically time to get straight back on boat. Would have loved to look around for a bit longer at the animals.

Milford Sound Coach and Cruise tour from Queenstown

Elle_M, Jul 2026

The untouched corner

A long day but absolutely worth it! An amazing experience for my 70+ year old parents, me and my husband and our 6yr old. The coach and boat were both comfortable, knowledge of our driver enhanced the experience and the trip is very well timed so that stops are the perfect length for a refreshment, toilet break or photo opportunity. That part of the world is so untouched that you feel so removed from reality, if only for a day! The flora, fauna and landforms really show all that Mother Nature has to offer

Waitomo Glowworm Caves Guided Tour

Amanda_F, Jun 2026

Beautiful!

We loved this experience! The cave is beautiful and the boat ride through the river in the cave to see the glowworms was magical. Two things to be aware of: 1. You cannot take pictures inside of the cave 2. I would recommend stopping in town to eat as we did not find the food at the restaurant to be our favorite.

Milford Sound Cruise

Marianne_A, Jun 2026

Great Ship, Great Tour

This boat was an excellent one for the experience as it had many seats and table tables inside, along with a café to get food. It’s one of the only boats that tour Milford sound which offer this option. But even better, there are great viewing opportunities outside and up top, which we took full advantage of. The tour took us all around the sound, and we saw all the waterfalls, as well as going out into the Tazman Sea for a ways, and then turning around to come back into the sound. The captain talked quite a bit, although it was more difficult to hear outside, but overall, I highly recommend this tour, which was also a very competitive price.

Shotover River Extreme Jet Boat Ride in Queenstown

Trudi_M, Apr 2026

Must-do when in...

Must-do when in Queenstown. Did this first when I visited in February with my sisters, and enjoyed it so much, I had to take my now husband on the way to our wedding. Both of us were really nervous before the first time we both went, but the drivers are absolutely amazing (I think they said they train for 18mths before they take passengers). Ngāi Tahu tourism are an extremely professional operation, and their safety record is impeccable. They are the best for a Queenstown jet boat experience - don't skimp and go for a cheaper operator - Shotover Jet have the exclusive rights to the section of river that's best for this. So much fun - you really won't regret it (and like us, will probably want to go again as soon as you get off!)
