Perfect day in Milford Sound

Beautiful day in Milford Sound! The journey with Stephen in the coach was friendly, safely and very interesting. Once in the boat (very nice boat), we spent time on all the decks to enjoy the views and inside during lunch time. We learnt a lot with the nature guide during 2h. I high recommend VIP Milford! Thank you guys! Clement

Bon moment à Milford

J'ai passé une très agréable journée avec VIP Milford, j'ai eu la chance d'avoir un temps ensoleillé fin mai, le bus vient nous prendre devant l'hôtel, il est confortable et le conducteur fait des commentaires intéressants ainsi que de fréquents arrêts aux points d'intérêt, permettant de prendre des photos. Le bateau du tour 'Nature' est un grand marinier, qui nous permet d'avoir une vue exceptionnelle de l'intérieur ou de l'extérieur. On profite ainsi des paysages magnifiques.

Awesome experience

Prompt pick up by friendly, knowledgeable and experienced guide. The mini van was in great condition and very comfortable. The guide made a few stops, pointing out places, plants, geographical facts along the way and gave plenty of photo opportunities. The cruise on Milford Sound was fabulous. We were met by friendly staff, they gave a great tour. The boat was clean and spacious. After the cruise the mini van was waiting and we enjoyed another good journey home. Definitely recommend this trip!
