Things to do in  Fiordland & Milford Sound

Milford sounds trip was excellent. The Captain and his crew member personalised the trip. Captains commentary was very informative. I particularly enjoyed going out to the heads and going under the waterfall-sure we got wet and cold but well worth it.

This is a one in a lifetime experience! Driving into Milford was so breathtaking, surrounded by mountains, and waterfalls. On the cruise It was raining which made it even more beautiful. We seen cheeky Kea, weka bird, NZ furseals, and Fiordland penguin. It was definitely an experience I’d have again! The overnight cruise will be the next one we do.

The bus trip to Milford sound was great and we just had an awesome driver. Very informative and a great sense of humour. Well done Benjamin. The boat trip was just awesome and the commentary was great. It was drizzling a bit which made it more interesting. The waterfalls are amazing. Loved it. Will recommend this trip as a most.

Fabulous views of Milford Sound! The flight was smooth and the pilot was excellent. The waterfalls were spectacular. It was a must do trip.

Constant rain in Queenstown made for a less pleasant visit and journey to Milford Sound. However the fast flowing rivers and the waterfalls were magnificent. All arrangements went smoothly and our driver allowed us several stops along the way. Not sure whether it would be better or not in nicer weather, but enjoyed it anyway.

Milford Sounds is by far the best place that we have visited in New Zealand. We were lucky enough to be visiting Milford sounds after rain as a result, there were a number of waterfalls with plenty of water. We enjoyed the bus drive as well as cruise. Thanks to JUCY for a great experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed this cruise! The size of the boat is perfect and the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. We cruised on a wet and rainy day which was a bonus...there were thousands of waterfalls running that would not have been flowing otherwise. Milford Sound is truly an amazing place!

We did the morning cruise and do not regret it. Beautiful scenery. Got to see mountains, waterfalls, and penguins. The cruise lasted 1 hr 45 min and included complimentary tea and coffee. The boat was very spacious too; it had three levels. Also, the drive to Milford Sound from Te Anau was stunning.

We enjoyed the information the nature guide provided as the boat slowly cruised around Milford Sound and took us very close to the waterfalls and seals so we could take photographs. Kayaking was very peaceful and educational. It was a beautiful sunny day and it hadn't rained for three days so the water was very clear. A great day in Milford Sound!

This was an amazing tour. I had a fantastic time enjoying the Milford Sound Cruise. Waterfalls, Fog, Drizzles, Rough waters!! Carry a rain coat when you go on this cruise..

We enjoyed our cruise tremendously. Milford Sound is gorgeous and the cruise respectfully displayed the beauty. It had rained in the morning and the waterfalls were full. There weren't too many people on the boat and the lunch was great. Thanks!

Booking was just for the Jucy Cruise of Milford Sounds. Was an excellent experience. Good commentary picked ot the important things to inform us, did not ramble on boat came in close to scenic features, eg waterfall, seals etc. Boat was not too crowded, so made it easy to move aroundto get good photos. Excellent value

A remarkable display of airmanship by our pilot, Antony, who skillfully navigated our very comfortable Cessna Caravan into this most exquisitely beautiful place called Milford Sound. This excursion will be forever etched in my mind. The photos do not do it justice, you have to SEE it. The cruise is also a MUST. Our boat crew delighted us with sights of waterfalls and wildlife and included a commentary on geological natural history. Excellent all the way there and back!!

The nature cruise was informative and beautiful. We saw fur seals, dolphins, and two Fiordland Crested penguins! Great fun to drink water from a waterfall, see the Tasman Sea, and have the opportunity to don raincoats and stand under a waterfall.

Great tour - We got lucky with good weather and got to see penguins and seals! A nature cruise is the best way to see Milford Sound.

The day of our trip to Milford Sound it had rained continuously for over 12 hours and continued right throughout our cruise. In total 175mm of rain was deposited in Fiordland. However, this in no eay detracted from the beauty and majesty of the wonderful sights we were privileged to see. If anything it enhanced our cruise as the skipper of the boat told us that the waterfalls on one side of the Sound were only there because of the rain. Unfortunately, we were only on a little boat and the skipper had to turn it around earlier in the cruise than normal, thereby not making it into the Tasmin Sea. The weather being as it was, this was a good decision!

We were very fortunate to have rain during the night before but sun during the day of the cruise. This allowed waterfalls to be in action yet we did not get wet! A truely lovely drive to Milford sound, we drove ourselves leaving from Te Anau 4 hours from before departure. A wonderful day all round...

What a great day out, we booked with Mitre Peak cruises because they were a smaller boat and because all the tourist buses went on the larger vessels, Great tip from a friend who previously went on this cruise, Great boat with lots of viewing areas and staff were very friendly. We went on a day when a storm came through which showed another side to Milford Sound, all the mountains were waterfalling which made our trip memorable, Could not recommend this trip enough with Mitre Peak Cruises

HIGHLY recommend the kayak. We went at the end of June, so it was cold. However, you don't realized the magnificence and waterfalls until you get in the kayak and get really really close. It was awesome! I love Milford Sound even more because of this tour.

Such an excellent experience - extremely, extremely rainy the entire time but still very worth it! With the rain came the thousands of waterfalls we were able to see. Our kayak guide Simon was fantastic! Very knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone who isn't afraid of getting wet and wants to see Milford Sound it it's true environment.
