Très bonne expérience

Super croisière. 2h pour faire le tour du port jusqu'à la mer de Tasmanie. Le buffet était bon, et le temps magnifique !

Croissière magique dans un endroit splendide

Nous avons passé un super moment au plus près des cascades. Nous avons même eu la chance de voir des pingouins et des phoques.

oui mais

Bon discount grâce à BookMe, mais en voulant rajouter une option directement chez Real Journeys, ils m'ont fait payer la différence du discount en plus de l'option, escrocs!

From Real Journeys - Milford Sound Scenic Cruise

Hi Laurent, I can see in our system that you booked the off-peak departure on our Milford Sound Scenic Cruise through Bookme - at a discount. However you upgraded your booking to our longer Milford Sound Nature Cruise and added a visit to visit the Milford Sound Underwater Observatory. Our Milford Sound Nature Cruise is not offered on the Bookme website and therefore is not discounted. You paid the difference between two different cruises, plus the underwater observatory. I hope that this explains what you paid for :) Thanks for your review. The Real Journeys Team

Best cruise at milford sound

Would recommend book the early morning cruise, buffet breakfast included and extra 20 mins cruise time, and most importantly less people. visit milford sound twice, one was with Jucy, and this time with Real journey, and from my experience, real journey has better value. will definitely choose real journey again!
