Everything was superb with Real Journeys. The bus we took from Queenstown to the Milford Sound and then back to Te Anau was new and very comfortable. Our driver and guide Tracy was extremely knowledgeable and very interesting. We didn't expect to do any sightseeing while we were driving to the sound but we did and we enjoyed each one.... More

Doubtful Sound is on many visitors' "must see" list while in NZ, and there are several operators who can take you on an excursion to this beautiful corner of the country. We chose Real Journeys' overnight excursion on the Fiordland Navigator and from the moment we arrived we were immediately very happy that we did. The boats are immaculate, comfortable,... More

We really enjoyed this tour - so glad we did it and well worth the day trip from Queenstown! We had a beautiful cruise on the way to the caves and then an awesome tour guide who took us through... Amazing, have never experienced anything like it! I would definitely recommend this tour! A tour best left for adults and... More

The Doutful Sound over night cruise with Real Journeys is the best new Zealand has to offer not just to over seas visitors but locals too. The crew are amazing and the view is breath taking. The food is yummy. You will miss the best part of NZ if you don't go to Doutful Sound.

Did the day tour of Doubful Sound with Real Journeys. Took boat ride through beautiful Lake Manapouri (Pearl Harbour), then got on bus for a little while to get on another boat and sail through Doubtful Sound. It rains 2 out of 3 days in this area, so you're lucky if you get a sunny day. We had clouds, patchy... More

Having driven a lot in NZ we loved having Real Journeys do all the hard work to get us from Te Anau to Milford Sound, do a Nature Cruise and then back again. Curls, our driver, was a great personality and very knowledgeable (I think she had been doing it for 17 years). The bus stops at all the important... More

The Real Journeys Milford Sound overnight cruise (Milford Mariner) is a very nice experience, but is overpriced for what you actually get. The main point to consider if you want to do this is that it’s not an ‘overnight cruise’ at all! In fact what happens is that you’ll set sail at about 5pm, cruise around the fjord for an... More
