Excellent day trip. The whole day ran smoothly. Our driver Deano, was very informative along the way. Awesome scenery. During the cruise the guide was very knowledgeable, we were lucky to see Penguins, seals and dolphins. A long day, but we'll worth it, with regular stops along the way for photo opportunities and refreshments.

What a lovely experience
Loved the Real Journeys glass roof coach option to travel to Milford Sound - definitely nicer to sit back and listen to the guide than to drive. Lots of stops on the way too. In Milford it was great to have a longer cruise with extra time to get to the Tasman Sea. The boat was unique and small enough where you didn’t have large groups of tourists on board. Milford Sound is amazing with stunning water falls. The guide on board provided so much interesting information of fiordland. The cruise itself is steady, and I didn’t get sea sick at all as Milford Sound is quite protected and not like being on a boat in the ocean. Overall a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend.
