    A must do visit you will always remember

    John_W, Feb 2026
    This is a must visit when in Queenstown. The natural beauty will take your breath away. The towering mountains above you as the boat travels between them. We were fortunate to experience so many waterfall on the mountains flowing as it rained the previous day. We were on a smaller tour with a smaller boat to be able to get right up against the wall of the mountain and see the trees on the vertical wall as well as some of the other falls. It was also a smaller group so it was not crowded. It is worth the little extra for the experience. We also saw dolphins and sea lions too. Our driver Jack and tour guide Peter was an incredible team for this journey to Milford Sound. Professional driving and informative. On the boat Nick was great in providing a great narrative of the sound.

    Overall very pleasant...
