밀포드사운드 크루져

2023년12월16일 9시30분 크루즈를 이용했습니다 뉴질랜드 왔으면 반드시 봐야할 광경입니다 아침 구름과 함께 보는 산들의 모습은 정말 장관이였습니다 9시반 출발해서 11시10분경 돌아왔습니다 점심 식사는 선택하지 않았고 순수 크루즈만 탔습니다 테아나우에서 6시20분쯤 렌트카로 출발해서 쉬지않고 달리면 8시25분경 주차장 도착하며 4시간 주차로 주차요금 결제하면 충분합니다.여름기준~~ 오는 동안 안개 낀 주변 광경또한 장관입니다

밀포드 사운드

밀포드 사운드의 경험은 좋았습니다 하지만 너무 기대를 하고 가서 그런지 생각보다는 기대에 미치지 못한 것 같더군요 생각보다 시간이 짧았고 별다른 이벤트가 없었습니다 한국어 안내가 있었으면 더 좋았을 것 같았네요 전체적으로 좋은 경험 이었습니다

선상에서의 관광

식권 교환을 제대로 안내해주면 좋았을텐데, 승선 후 2층 매점에서 교환해야됩니다. 이점 빼고는 다 마음에 들었습니다

신비스런 Milford Sound 여행

Milford Sound를 두번 가보았는데 두번 모두 비가 오는 날이네요. 그래서 그런지 폭포의 물이 넘쳐 흐르는 모습은 정말로 장관입니다. Milford Sound Nature Cruise로 쉽게 예약을 하고 즐거운 여행을 할 수 있었습니다. 감사를 드립니다.^^

밀포드사운드에 오시면 크루즈 꼭 타세요!

밀포드사운드에서 평화홉고 아름다운 시간을 보냈어요! 우리가 탄 배는 다른 여행사 보다 좀 더 큰 배라서 안정적이고 경치 구경하기도 더 좋았어요! 그리고 예약시간보다 3시간이나 일찍 도착해버려서 혹시 배 시간을 변경해줄 수 있는지 물어봤는데, 매우 친절하게 바꿔주셨어요 😄 이 여행사에서 예약하시는 걸 추천합니다 😄
