Magique!

Une excellente visite, le chauffeur de bus grace à ses commentaires rend le voyage plus agréable. En plus il est sympathique et drôle ! Sur le bateau nous avons embarqué pour 2h de croisière, là encore les commentaires rendent la visite intéressante. Nous avons fait plusieurs arrêts pour observer des pingouins et des phoques. Le soleil était de la partie, magique !

Tres belle expérience

Nous avons passé une très bonne journée à Milford Sound. Nous avions déjà beaucoup roulé donc l'option du bus est assez agréable et notre chauffeur Simon était très drôle et avait plein d'explications pour nous (en anglais) . Le bus panoramique est vraiment génial, et permet de ne rien rater sur la route (siège orientés vers les fenêtres et toit panoramique) . La croisière était top, les bateaux récents et les commentaires intéressants. L'ensemble était vraiment une super expérience et une très bonne journée. J'ai juste regrettée de ne pas avoir un peu plus d'arrêt aux points d'intérêt sur la route.

Great day trip

Real NZ made the check in, pick up and drop off process smooth and straight forward. Our guide Deanna was informative and thorough on the drive up explaining the scenery, geology and wildlife! A fantastic experience!

Memorable experience.

Our bus driver provided lovely insights of the area, wildlife and new zealand in general. He made the trip to Milford Sound enjoyable and also stopped along the way for photos.

Amazing experience and coach

We had an incredible time on this tour, the views were breathtaking. The coach was also fantastic as so much of the sides and roof were glass so you could see our really well whilst driving.
