We had an amazing time and loved the whole trip. We were very happy that we chose a smaller boat because we were able to get so close to the waterfalls and had dolphins right next to us. It was one of the most impressive experiences I’ve ever had and I would recommend it to everyone

Milford Sound is beautiful, and this cruise is a great way to experience it. The boat is really quite small, we could even drive very close to a waterfall! The skipper gave lot of interesting facts throughout the cruise. I recommend the morning time, because later it can get more crowded.
