Everything about this experience was 100% brilliant. The staff were fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was awesome - heaps of options. Doubtful Sound itself was breathtaking. When the boat turned off its motor the experience of silence was awe inspiring and spiritual. Simply beautiful. Thank you to everyone involved. Do not miss this tour.

Great experience
This was a fun activity- it was great to learn more about the glow worms and see them up close. The small boat ride was the highlight.Be aware that you go across in a larger group, so there’s some waiting around for your turn to go into the caves.

Milford Sound Full Day Tour from Te Anau with Cruise

A must do trip!
This is a "must do" trip! I chose a smaller tour because I wanted that local connection and knowledge and I was delighted that I picked Luxe Tour's. There were 11 of us on the super comfy Mercedes Benz bus, including Nicky, our wonderful guide. We had plenty of stops on the way to Milford Sound, lots of photo opportunities and a yummy morning tea! The boat cruise was incredible. Milford Sound you are stunning...OMG it is hard to find the words to describe this amazing place. Waterfalls in the misty rain are out of this world, and the walk on the way through the wet rain forest was beautiful! Thanks Nicky from #luxetoursnz for all the knowledge you shared with us, this was truly a magical day! #magicmilford

We had such a wonderful day out! Steve was a walking encyclopaedia, sharing his incredible knowledge and passion for the outdoors and the local environment. His enthusiasm was infectious and made the whole experience so enjoyable and fun. The lunch was delicious, and the cruise was absolutely incredible. A fantastic experience from start to finish — highly recommended!

The small group tour size...
The small group tour size was fantastic, and allowed plenty of flexibility in stopping to enjoy the scenery and wildlife along the way. Jamie was clearly a very experienced guide and managed the balancing act perfectly so we never felt rushed or sat around waiting, even with the tunnel closed for a little while in the morning.Stopping for coffee and cake next to a tree full of keas was a lovely surprise, and the packed lunch was great quality and had plenty for everyone to enjoy.Beyond the scenic journey the cruise itself was also fantastic, in a nice modern vessel with comfortable seating inside and plenty of great vantage points so it never felt crowded. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, including kind offers to take family photos, and some quality commentary and dad jokes from our captain.It was a long day but absolutely worth it, and leaving early from Te Anau to beat the crowds was 100% the right call, so would strongly recommend to anyone considering it.

Brilliant, stunning, awesome!
Absolutely amazing experience with Geoff (Jeff? Sorry we didn’t ask!) as our local guide! It was great to have a more cozy tour in the van rather than a big one in a bus. The food was great and catered for my Coeliac partner, photos are amazing and Geoff took us to a few hidden gems on the way there and back. Would definitely recommend anyone to do this tour!! P.S. for any other Aussies, Geoff only slightly took the piss out of us (he still thinks NZ came up with pavlova though, so we weren’t too offended 😉)

Light drizzles caused the areas around mountain tops to have fogs but also created a tapestry of waterfalls. Wonderful experience cruising through Doubtful Sound and Manapouri Lake. Lots of wild life to observe. The sighting of dolphins and penguins are a bonus.
