Stunning scenery and relaxed atmosphere

There were only 43 people on our trip and so the boat was spacious with plenty of room to move around. The landscape was stunning and we got close the the fjords and the waterfalls with a great commentary from our captain. We saw penguins and seals and enjoyed sailing out into the Tasman Sea before turning into the relative calm of the fjords. There was enough rain that the waterfalls were srunning and the underwater observatory was magical.
Don’t let the weather put you off

Amazing experience on the cruise and beautiful sights. Got to see some dolphins playing briefly in the water which was pretty awesome. Under water observatory wasn’t what I expected and a little boring but that’s only a small part of this trip and hearing some of the history from the tour guide there was fantastic as he had such knowledge and good banter.
Stunning!

Awful service

Awful. We were not pre warned that we had to get a coach to Milford sound until we were stopped on route.
They put us on a tour the next day (after already wasting 8 hours driving) did it all the next day to then find out we paid for the ‘underwater observatory’ and that was not part of the boat tour we were put on AND they charged us more to get the bus! No apology or compensation for the fact we wasted the majority of our time just because they didn’t email or call.
Will never use Viator again.
