Pure magic

The weather forecast was a little unfavourable, but we booked the Pure Milford 1.5 hour cruise, despite it. We enjoyed it immensely, the scenery and moods of the fiord were spectacular. Bursts of sunshine on the water and peaks highlighted how special the whole landscape is. Our boat captain was excellent, his commentary informative and amusing.

Bad customer service

I reached on time and waited 15 min in the queue, Customer representative told we delayed by 5 minutes. And charges extra $20/adult to move our booking to next slot.

Amazing! Highly recommended!

Great cruise. Caught 11am session. Quiet and not as full as other boats when we got on. Friendly staff!
