This tour is worth every penny really happy we picked this firm as there are lots to choose from. The driver was so friendly and welcoming and knew his stuff to be honest i was overwhelmed with his infectious love for his job. Cruise is great and this place is so beautiful you can't discribe it. The coach is better... More

Went on day trip with this group, august 2011. What a fantastic trip! It was worth it just for the bus trip to Milford. Driver gave excellent interesting commentary the whole way, stopped at 5 different natural sights that were all just amazing. Love the forests especially, and homer tunnel. Boat trip also predictably amazing. Definitely do a Milford sound... More

Not sure who the credit for this great day trip should go to... We booked a trip with Cruize Milford but as it was winter they gang up with another couple of companies (Ecotours and Grayline). We travelled down to Milford Sound on a Grayline bus - only about 15 of us on a glass topped very spacious and comfortable... More

I wanted to take the Milford BBQ bus due to the great reviews but unfortunately they stop tours in April. So we took this tour at our hostels recommendation (and money wasn't a concern we were with my sister and her college friends and thus why we stayed at Nomads hostel). The trip was great. The bus wasn't even close... More

My husband and I took this trip/tour from Queenstown on 31st January and were very pleased with the day. We had our South Island road trip itinerary pretty much planned out beforehand but, after doing further research, I found myself wondering if we would have been better to stay in Te Anau and drive ourselves/change some things around, etc., etc.,...

I chose the Eco Tours Milford Sound tour for two reasons: one, it was slightly cheaper than some of the others, but more importantly, touted smaller buses that would provide a more personal experience. The brochure said it accomodated 33 people, much smaller than the other traditional tours. It is an all-day tour that starts later than the rest -... More

Coach - Cruise - Coach trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound with Eco Tours in early September. Pick-up at 8am, return at 9pm. The scenery along the way is spectacular, very picturesque and the Milford Sound area was amazingly beautiful. It gets quite cold especially on the boat so bring a jacket and layer up. More than likely it will... More
