Premium Milford Sound Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown
Definitely recommend!
Obviously the trip is beautiful! But it was made by Hannah and her commentary along the way. Her insights on NZ history, environment, economy and Maori culture were super interesting and really well delivered. It made the long car ride pass quickly!

Milford Sound Premium Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown
Trip of a lifetime
Absolutely fabulous full day in ‘Bert’ the brand new luxury VW Transport. Hosted by the lovely Shelly who had an expert knowledge of the whole region and a deeply personal relationship with the people associated too it. Breathtaking scenery from stat to finish. AAA+
