Wir sind an einem sehr sonnigen Tag im Februar 2024 bei einer Bootstour mitgefahren. Die Aussicht auf die steil abfallenden Felswände hat uns sehr beeindruckt. Zudem haben wir einige Robben gesehen. Das Highlight war für uns die Fahrt ganz nah an einen Wasserfall.
Well organised trip - very informative, good weather and the boat whilst busy was not over packed
It said the cruise time is 2 hours but we were back in 1.25hours We drove 5 hours from Queenstown for this???? So pricey n not even a cup of coffees was provided. The views are spectacular no doubt but you guys need to pump up the service n make it worth every cent.
2hrs of best memorable big boat ride is just best thing in the whole trip. Parking is quite costly with $10/hr. Overall a great experience and must do in a lifetime. It takes 2h15m from Te Anau. Back to queenstown take 4h 15min. I would suggest to stay in Te Anau so that it reduce lot of travel in a day.

Verkürzte Tour trotz voller Bezahung
Die Landschaft im Milford Sound ist atemberaubend, keine Frage. Allerdings wurde die Tour als 2-stündige Schifffahrt verkauft, dauerte aber nur 1 Stunde und 15 Minuten. Das ist inakzeptabel und fühlt sich wie Betrug an. Wenn ich für eine bestimmte Dauer bezahle, erwarte ich auch, dass diese eingehalten wird. Keine Erklärung, keine Entschuldigung – einfach kürzer als versprochen. Sehr enttäuschend und definitiv nicht empfehlenswert!
