Once we reach Milford, you'll take a relaxing cruise on board the spacious vessel which boasts fantastic outdoor decks and indoor lounges specifically designed to optimize your viewing experience.

Worth the time and expense

Danny was our driver, his sense of humor was dry and almost dark, but left us chuckling a few times. Very kiwi sense of humor! The trip was informative and the scenery is breath taking, lots of photo opportunities. We got to see dolphins out on the cruise.

Quite boring

Honestly Milford Sound cruise is overrated. Buffet is NZD$60 with 10 dishes which was pretty meh. Oh btw, buffet is only for the first 30min of the cruise. If you’re REALLY into waterfalls, please go for it. No hate for RealNZ but it’s really just the activity in general…

Great views, poor comfort & cultural respect

The RealNZ bus’s glass roof offers stunning mountain views along the road. However, the narrow, tightly packed seats and lack of storage for bags or jackets make it uncomfortable. Both the bus driver and boat speaker should improve their pronunciation of te reo Māori. For a role showcasing Aotearoa to the world, correct pronunciation of place names is a basic expectation—and getting it wrong feels disrespectful
