      Hi Thank you for your lovely review. The weather at Milford Sound can be unpredictable so it is best to be prepared, however the scenery more than makes up for having to bring along extra rain coats! We are thrilled you enjoyed your day out with us. Kind regards VIP Milford Team :)

      Wonderful day!
      Dave was ready early to pick us up and a great tour guide. The bus was comfortable and not fully booked, so had plenty of room. Dave gave us great commentary and plenty of stops along the way. The cruise was stunning and included a nice lunch. Definitely worth the price.
