This is an amazing and must-do one if you visit the South Island of NZ. The staff is so friendly, and they take care of your safety. It's so worth the money you spend. We enjoy the commentary of both the captains, in the boat and in the bus, and they are informative and useful. They stopped at stunning places. We enjoyed their Pies, Hot Chocolate and all included in the package. We highly recommend Jucy Cruise Pure Milford.

The cruise along the Milford Sounds with unreal scenes and views was amazing. Going under the waterfall was the best part! The coach journey is also very stunning to go through the ever changing Fiordlands and beautiful scenery from mountains to forests to lakes and waterfalls, you get everything. Warning it is a long day!

Overall a very informative and unique experience. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a high-quality budget option!

This is a great experience in the South Island! The drive is stunning and you do a few stops in Fiordland along the way. However, the only downside is that 80% of the day is just driving to and from Milford Sound, and you’re only at Milford Sound for about 2 hours. That being said, it’s a great experience and everything is beautiful!

The majestic scenery is breathtaking even on a grey day. We were well looked after particularly by our driver who made us feel welcome. Lots of information about early pioneers and life in Fiordland. Would love to have heard more Māori history in the commentary and acknowledgement of mana whenua. This is not a reflection however on our guide for the day rather the company taking a more strategic approach to ensuring a balanced view. Thank you for a lovely day. Nga mihi nui

The most memorable moments were the Waterfalls, the Mountains and the Dolphins we could see from the boat. We also got coffee/tea for free and you could buy some snacks if you were hungry.
