I can't sing the praises of this trip enough! From Eric, our wonderful and engaging bus driver, who kept us entertained on the long drive to Milford, to the comfortable coach ride, with plenty of comfort and scenic stops, to the fantastic boat itself which drove close to all the interesting areas of the Fjords (we even got to see a penguin!!!), to the incredible, once in a lifetime flight back home - this is a trip I will never forget! Extra points for the fantastic pack lunch - plenty of food to keep us going. I also noted that another lady on the trip who was vegan got a really good option as well - a lot of thought must have been put in.

The bus from Queenstown didn’t pick up as on time but over all it’s amazing experience and long journey

Great trip, the bus was on time and the driver was fun and gave us interesting stories on the trip. We were able to stop and take great pictures. The cruise was fabulous, we got a perfect sunny day and the crew were very friendly. The airplane back was thrilling, great views, pictures and the pilot was very nice. It was a perfect day and I highly recommend this trip!
