Thank you very much, Fiordland Tours and for the lady tour guide. It was a small group tour. The guide was experienced. One woman operation. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

Nigel, our guide was a typical New Zealander, self-effacing, warm & friendly. His knowledge of the area, and even the names of the resident Keas, elevated this trip to a holiday with a friend. The picnic lunch was a pleasant surprise with lots of little snacks included. The highlight of the cruise was a close encounter with a beautiful waterfall, friendly staff and an accomodating captain who turned the boat around so we could follow a pod of dolphins (at a respectful distance!) All in all, a great experience!

Sacha and Allen were great hosts who were very attentive and accommodating especially to my needs as I was on crutches. The Cruise Milford team was also great, we had a comfortable and enjoyable ride with Craig and crew.

We had the best host ever, Sacha! She brought us to the best secret spots for photos and videos and shared her knowledge of her country so passionately. We were blessed with good weather on the cruise and saw seals while sailing. We went up close and personal with the huge waterfalls and saw many rainbows in the mist.
