We had a great experience seeing Milford Sound on this small boutique cruise. Very well organized, with helpful and friendly staff. Great commentary by the captain! We much appreciated the smaller boat and much smaller crowd which made the experience much more private and intimate! Well worth it!

I took this cruise for the reason of seeing Queenstown on the water and interested in the barbecue. This was a beautiful place to go to and after the barbecue, they had a beautiful show on how they heard the sheep and how they clipped the sheep, and the guy that did the presentation was very helpful and knowledgeable about how things run on the farm, most of all. The food was excellent.I can't describe more than excellent with maybe a superb. Ten stars instead of five

Amazing trip and very much recommend this Fly-Cruise-Fly Milford Sound tour. Both the flight and cruise staff were all fantastic. We were very fortunate to have perfect weather all day. The return flight was absolutely stunning and our pilot Luke was amazing with his professionalism and commentary.

Whilst it is a very long day it’s one worth doing. Robyn was our tour guide and driver and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly making it a memorable experience. The photos you take on the tour won’t do it justice. A must do for any visitor to the region.

The coolest thing I’ve done in my life!!! Our helicopter pilot Tony was amazing and a phenomenal pilot, our guide Zoe was great and super knowledgeable about the glacier and the history of it. It was absolutely unreal to get up there and be surrounded by all the ice.

A must do while in Queenstown! My husband and I had the best time on this experience! A quick 10 min drive out of Queenstown, plenty of parking, and really easy to find. There is a lovely brewery/restaurant next to the river to grab a beer/bite before or after the jet boat ride. We didn't eat, but the beers were good! (The food did look good though.) Shotover was running about 10 min behind for the day, so we didn't get on the river at our schedule time, but it was within 10 min. The weather was a perfect fall day, and the sun was out, but it was still a bit chilly on the river. You will get wet, so dress for the experience. Josh, our boat captain, was awesome! He was fun, knowledgeable, and a very skilled driver. He constantly checked-in to make sure everyone was okay and having a good time. You can tell he loves what he does for a living. The views down the river and through the canyons are stunning. The only downfall of the experience is that you can't take photos or videos while the boat is moving. You really have to take it all in and be present in the moment to get the full experience, which is good. The boat gets so close to the rocks and you feel the cold, fresh water on your face -- it is awesome. I would recommend this experience to anyone who visits Queenstown and I would do it again myself.

This experience was amazing! It’s quite a long drive from Queenstown, over 4 hours both ways, but so worth it! Everything on our tour day was just fab, the weather and even the dolphins came out to play. The tour guide gave interesting facts and information, there was spectacular views and stunning surroundings. The boat was comfortable and modern and was enjoyed by our whole group.

We had a wonderful two hour cruise around the Milford Sound. The captain gave a great narration throughout the cruise. Educational and entertaining. There were not too many people on board, so one could easily move around to different areas of the boat.
