Top Queenstown White Water Rafting

Lord of the rings fans, this is the one... Knowledge, facts, fun and pure epic scenery. Not only did we learn new info, but it just felt so accommodating and Dan is amazing, keeps the day flowing, keeps the quotes going and surpassed all expectations. Would highly recommend. And if you want your main character moment listening to the soundtrack whilst passing the scenes of LOTR, I can tell you, you'll get it.

We had such fabulous guides Dannika and Reev who made our experience such fun, encouraged us every step of the way. Educated us in the ways of looking after the environment how it benefits us all. Loved every minute of this experience, can't wait to do this again.

This was my fourth visit to Milford Sound and my first visit by air. Flying from Queenstown to Milford Sound was an amazing experience. The scenery during the flight was incredible , and flying through Milford Sound on approach provided a different perspective. I even commented upon landing that the cruise would be anticlimactic after the flight. It wasn’t. We were fortunate to see NZ Fur Seal feeding and a Fiordland Crested Penguin making its way from the sound to its nest. The flight back was even more spectacular, passing by Sutherland Falls, near Lake Te Anau, and over Lake Wakatipu. The best part: Avoiding the four-hour bus ride in each direction. I also need to mention how awesome Air Milford and Southern Discoveries were. Southern Discoveries did the cruise. The commentary was informative, and everyone demonstrated the Kiwi hospitality I expect in New Zealand (especially in the South Island). Air Milford is a top-notch organization; everyone was so friendly. Communication beforehand was easy, and you can tell their clients’ safety and satisfaction are their top priority. If you’re thinking about booking this experience, do it! A tip: The weather can’t be controlled, so plan to do the tour your first full day in Queenstown and be prepared to do it the next day or day after if you need to. I was fortunate that the tour was able to operate the day I booked.
