Reviews: RealNZ Milford Sound / Piopiotahi 1-day tour with multiple cruises - round-trip from Queenstown to Te Anau, New Zealand
Guest User2025-09-25
It was a very pleasant experience. Although the trip was a bit long, the driver was very friendly and enthusiastic. He explained the local history, customs, and landscapes along the way. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot.
The fjord cruise staff were also very friendly and explained the fjord landscape. We saw many waterfalls along the way.★

Guest User2025-12-30
Our driver, Baba, was incredibly dedicated. Throughout the trip, he diligently shared information about the sights, local history, and even vividly recounted Maori mythology. The journey was long, but his earnest and responsible sharing made the trip anything but boring.★

Reviews: New Zealand Southern Discovery 1-day tour to Milford Sound / Piopiotahi (Queenstown/Te Anau + optional lunch)
Guest User2024-01-03
Before I went, I was looking forward to the Fjord's itinerary, because there is no fjord landform in China! I read the little red book before that the fjord was very boring. I played a journey a day. It is recommended that if the time is relatively fast, you can choose a plane + cruise, almost 4 hours! For those with a low budget or a lot of time, I personally think that the bus is still very good. First of all, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the road along the way. The tour guide will recommend the photo place to open. The whole scenery and Xinjiang's road scenery are different! As for the fjord scenery, it is really shocking and worth it. Remember to book the buffet on the boat and will improve the quality of the whole trip! The bad point is that there are too many people. I booked a more suitable time because I traveled alone. It is recommended to book a little in advance if I travel, otherwise the time will be adjusted!★
