Reviews: From Queenstown: Milford Sound Cruise and Coach Day Tour
Guest User2026-02-04
The trip started from the main office of RealNZ with check in and introduction of our guide Brandon. He was just the right guy for that journey. During the trip he shared curious and historical facts, provided us with the beautiful opportunity to get photos of the stunning scenic nature along the way to Milford Sound, which additionally enriched the whole experience. At Milford we embarked the “Milford Monarch” cruise ship, on which we could experience the ultimate beauty of Milford Sound. The sceneries were just stunning. Its hard to describe what the eyes could see and the heart could feel at that beauty…simply captivating. Thank God for the nice and sunny weather and the little seal, kind enough to show itself on the way and put a smile of our faces. The return journey was also nice and peaceful. I would definitely recommend it a 100%. Thank you guys for your presence and the great day★

Reviews: Queenstown: Skippers Canyon Goldrush Highlights Tour
Guest User2026-01-09
★★★★★Koreans looking for a tour in Queenstown... This is the place. A Korean audio guide is provided throughout the tour. Honestly, even if you speak English to some extent, you'd probably miss 70% of the professional commentary. But this tour offers a detailed and expert explanation of Queenstown's gold rush history and Skippers Canyon, perfectly recorded by a professional audio guide, not a low-quality AI translation. Listening to the in-depth Queenstown gold rush history while taking in the scenery through the window and comparing past and present photos from the expert guide was truly like time travel in Queenstown. Skippers Canyon is inaccessible by rental car, so this professional tour was a must-do. If you're visiting Queenstown, I highly recommend Skippers Canyon, especially if you enjoy exploring cultural heritage sites while listening to commentary! Of course, you can also change to the music channel (one headset provided per person) and listen to your own music as you go. You can enjoy the Shotover River and the Remarkable Mountains while riding, and the scenery outside the window is truly amazing. And the tour guide is super friendly and great!!! Another great thing is that this tour started last summer, so word of mouth hasn't spread yet, so you can tour as if you're chartering a car with just your group. It feels like a private tour!! Even though it was just the two of us, the guide worked really hard to make the tour enjoyable. And another adorable thing☆☆☆☆☆ is the dog, Aster!!!! The tour guide's pet dog is so gentle, and you can even get out of the car and take pictures with him. I highly recommend it🥹😍😍 And another great part of the tour: at the end, we had a beer at a pub that's been around since the 1800s, just like gold rush miners!! The guide asked about drinks during the tour, and there were various choices. I tasted four beers, and they were seriously delicious. My eyes widened after the first one. I highly recommend choosing beer. This is a must-do tour in Quinta.★

Reviews: Queenstown: Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ & Lake Whakatipu Cruise
Guest User2026-02-04
Travel on TSS Earnslaw was amazing, interesting and informative. Spectacular scenery. The BBQ dinner at Walter Peak Farm was exceptional. Staff helpful and present. The food was sensational. Then to cap that all off a wonderful, informative display of sheep shearing and Mia the dog rounding up the sheep. An exceptional day.★

Reviews: Queenstown: TSS Earnslaw Cruise of Lake Whakatipu
Guest User2026-02-04
Great trip, go on the early boat, then with passengers disembarking for the farm visit, you have almost the entire boat to yourself on the return leg. Also, great coffee onboard★
