Thanks RealNZ!

It was a fantastic boat trip, thanks to the skipper, guide, and crew for making it such a memorable experience. Their patience and relaxed pace gave us plenty of time to truly enjoy the water and the views without feeling rushed. A picky wish would be to have gotten just a little closer to the waterfalls. Also, shoutout to Johnny the coach driver for his steady hand and impeccable driving through the windy road. His calm professionalism and the occasional joke made the ride smooth and relaxing. However, despite the extremely small group departing from Te Anau at 7:45am, the sightseeing stopover felt a bit rushed at times, largely due to some fellow passengers (the Aussies couple!) eager to move on too quickly (not the fault of the driver though). Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Wonderful day tour from Te Anau

Pleasant staff in RealNZ booking in centre. Blake, our driver, was not only a very safe and competent driver on the challenging road to the Sound, he also provided interesting commentary on the history of the Fiordland National Park area. Comfortable coach with large windows. Magnificent breathtaking scenery. The boat trip on the Sound was fabulous - great sense of humour from the Captain. I would highly recommend.
