Testimonials:

''Our guide Debbie made this very special. This was not merely a shuttle to Milford Sound but a full-on bus tour with interesting narration and Q&A. I hadn’t counted on that. The cruise itself was mind-blowing. Photos don’t do it justice, you just have to go. Seriously, just do it. There are several operators to choose from. I can say that Pure Milford has clean and comfortable buses and boats, very pleasant staff, extremely well-organized schedule and operations. ''

''Must experience when visiting New Zealand. We had four seasons in one day which gave us different views of fjord land throughout the day. Cruise was absolutely superb and Debbie was just rock star driving us safely on those narrow roads and provided amazing commentary for the entire bus ride.''

''Best tour I have ever done. Do not miss.''

''An excellent way to make the journey to Milford Sound . Stunning scenery with knowledgeable commentary from our brilliant, experienced guide Brian that included history, geology, geography and myths and legends. Once on the boat the views continued together with the captain’s commentary and we saw unbelievable waterfalls at close proximity from the water together with wild life spotting . Altogether a fabulous experience.''

''A great trip from start to finish. Hard to think of anything you guys could have done any
better. This part of New Zealand is an absolute must for any visitor.''

''It was awesome to experience another part of NZ I hadn’t been to before. The driver was very experienced and had a lot of interesting information to share with us about the landscapes and history of the places we visited. The cruise was wonderful and highly advise to not let a bit of rain stop you from going because it was truely magical''
