5.00It was a long itinerary, but we were able to visit several spots with related stories and it was quick. The car was comfortable and I enjoyed it to the end, as I was able to rest well during the long journey. Milford Sound was the goal, but the Mirror Lakes Walk was so good! The cafe where we had snacks on the way was also delicious with pies. Our guide RAGHAV made the tour fun and exciting and gave us a good vibe.
A very comfy scenic ride. Highly recommended

We had appropriate time for bathroom breaks and for each stop. The bus is very comfortable; and the landscape is absolutely magical.

5.00What an amazing tour it was. Amy from CK was an absolute legend as a guide. She managed to include all the major attractions on the way and shared the history of all the locations. It was quite informative. Amy is quite knowledgeable about the places she took us and fun to chat. Milford Sound cruise was absolutely stunning.
Excellent

5.00This tour was first rate. Comfortable ride, nice packed lunch, good company. And the Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound are spectacular. We started out very early in the rain from Queenstown, but our guide Benny assured us that going to Milford Sound on a rainy day was not a bad thing. And he could not have been more right. The way the waterfalls grew in number and intensity throughout the day was breathtaking. Truly a day to remember. And being dropped in Te Anau at the end of the day (instead of going all the way back to Queenstown) gave me a chance to wander a bit and see some sights in Te Anau.
