Reviews: Lunar New Year availability for RealNZ Milford Sound / Piopiotahi 1-day tour cruise · Round-trip from Queenstown to Te Anau
Guest User2026-01-08
Milford Sound is absolutely stunning! The scenery is breathtaking, the boat tour is fantastic, and the unique landscape not found in China is truly amazing. The entire trip, including check-in, was incredibly smooth!
Reviews: New Zealand Milford Sound 1-Day Tour | Panoramic Bus + Fjord Cruise + Optional Buffet Lunch

We took the tour from Te Anau. We stopped at many places on the way to Milford Sound, allowing us to take photos. You can buy lunch on the Milford Sound cruise, or bring your own. We were grateful for the free coffee, tea, and water. We were able to see many incredibly high cliffs and really get a feel for the sheer scale of the place.

Our driver, Baba, was incredibly dedicated. Throughout the trip, he diligently shared information about the sights, local history, and even vividly recounted Maori mythology. The journey was long, but his earnest and responsible sharing made the trip anything but boring.
Reviews: New Zealand Milford Sound / Piopiotahi 1-Day Tour - 16-Person Group + Mercedes Travel Van + Cruise + Lunch

I booked one day and went the next. It was a small group with few people, and the foreign driver/guide was beautiful, kind, and incredibly attentive. She provided detailed explanations throughout the trip, stopped at every attraction to take photos for us, and even prepared local plant information and drew a diagram explaining the formation of the fjords. On the way back from the boat, she thoughtfully provided chocolates and umbrellas for when it rained. The customer service was also very patient, assisting us whenever we were worried about getting lost. A great experience!
Reviews: Queenstown, New Zealand - Milford Sound / Piopiotahi Scenic Helicopter Tour with Two Snow Mountain Landings (Cruise Not Included)
Guest User2025-10-06
We adjusted our itinerary due to weather, but thankfully it cleared up the day we left Queenstown. The experience was unique, landing on a snowy mountaintop. The pilot was fantastic, and most importantly, it saved us a lot of time. However, the weather in the South Island can be unpredictable, so if you choose the helicopter option, I recommend staying in Queenstown for a few days.
