“Left punctually, amazing views as expected! 9.30 boat wasn't crowded at all. We thought the cruise would be 2h so was disappointed that it was only 1h45min (couldn't find the info anywhere either), but definitely worth it.”

“Please be prepared to expect a mass tourism place! There a at least 10 vessels, we counted 5 helicopters and 20 planes. This vessel was clean and not packed but still it was super loud and noisy from people not being respectful in this absolutely stunning nature. There is one coffee machine for everyone to use. In those 2h I didn't get a coffee, I tried 3 times, but the queue was very long and I don't wanna spent me precious time lining up”

“I finally ticked Milford Sound off my bucket list, and it didn’t disappoint. Booking for the cruise was simple, and the scenery along the way was a great lead-up to the main event. Once on the boat, the views were incredible—rugged cliffs, endless waterfalls, and so much wildlife. By the end of the trip, I felt like I’d been immersed in one of nature’s masterpieces.”

“Just did the Milford Sound Cruise and I honestly can't believe how beautiful it was. The views of the mountains and waterfalls were unreal, and we even saw some dolphins swimming beside the boat. The whole cruise lasted about two hours, but it felt like no time at all. It can get a bit rainy, so definitely pack a jacket, but it's totally worth it. Booking was super simple, and if you're going to be in the area, I’d say don’t skip this. It’s one of those moments you’ll be talking about long after it’s over.”
