Absolutely incredible. The rain made the whole experience even more magical! Waterfalls everywhere, mist rolling over the cliffs, and the whole place felt alive. Getting soaked under the falls was part of the fun. The crew was great, the boat was comfortable, and the views were unreal. 10/10... a must-do in New Zealand. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

This is one of the most incredible places I’ve ever seen. Our knowledgeable guide kept us informed and ensured we had plenty of stops during the five-hour drive to Milford and four returns to fill our bellies. The comfortable bus and large windows are made for great photo opportunities. Just a heads up, double-check your pick-up point on your documents. I booked through Flight Centre and the information was confusing. This caused me to arrive a bit late as I thought I was going to be picked up from my accommodation. Also, make sure to pray for rain at Milford Sound; it truly enhances the experience. I left my heart there.

Highly recommend visiting Milford Sound with Real NZ. Travelling by coach makes the journey so easy. Great commentary by the driver and making stops along the way just adds to the anticipation of seeing the beauty of the fiord. So many seating options on the boat with a great selection of food and beverages. 5 ⭐️ experience!!!!

Would definitely recommend Real NZ For The Milford sound tour. They keep you well informed and and takes the edge of having to drive (however if you do have more time around that area definitely worth a drive!) plenty of stops along the way. Commentary was mainly on the way to Milford sound and was very informative. The cruise was lovely around - it rain intermittently but without the rain we wouldn't have the wonderful waterfalls there! Fantastic experience! As it's a long day do pack some snacks!

We were lucky to see a fiordland crested penguin. The guides were very informative and I appreciate how active they were in spotting the local wildlife. If it weren't for them we would have missed such a rare sighting!

Was a wonderful experience, staff were helpful and friendly and was an easy process to get on the Milford haven boat through RealNZ.Was too expensive for parking, was outrageous at $30 ($10 an Hour) when you pay all that money to go on the tour and then you’re slammed with parking as well. The cruise was wonderful its self, staff are all so knowledgeable of the area and explained everything as you went. Seen wildlife, seals and penguins and so many wonderful waterfalls. Had a great time and a lot of photos and memories made. Oh and watch out for the cheeky keas!!!!
