Incredible experience
This was an absolute highlight, our driver Greg was fantastic he had so much knowledge and was very funny. He kept everything very much to time and was clear with instructions. The cruise was incredible with lovely staff and a great lunch. I couldn’t rate this experience highly enough

Thanks for a fantastic trip. Our driver Vaughn was amazing. He’s a highly skilled driver, friendly, funny and we learned lots of interesting facts from him about the area. The cruise was incredible, a must see for all. Highly recommended

Truly amazing experience
We drove from Queenstown to Te Anau and then took the coach from Te Anau to Milford Sound. It was raining the whole day and there were some road blockages which meant there were no stops along the way to Milford, which was slightly sad. The buffet provided on the cruise exceeded expectations. The Milford cruise was an unique experience. Southern Discoveries did well overall

Amazing tour
I picked up location at Frankton Bus Shelter , near Queenstown airport. The coach was clean, the driver / guide was wonderful. and explained all the nick knacks of the route. Stopped at places of nature walk. All in all wonderful experience. The buffet lunch was also well spread. Enjoyed each moment.

Absolutely stunning!
This cruise is a must! The sites were absolutely breathtaking, nothing like I had seen before. Our driver was excellent, we loved learning about the history of the areas we are traveling through and he was hilarious! We can't wait to bring the kids back to experience this trip!
