Wonderful day. Long drive but worth every minute. The Milford sound and surrounding area is breathtaking. Coach was small and cozy instead giant impersonal buses herding people in. Our driver Chris was great.
My wife and I had a wonderful time. The driver had very good knowledge of the various places we visited and came up with very nice narration and facts regarding them. The BBQ was good. We enjoyed the food and had enough to fill our stomachs. We had our lunch outdoors. Great views. The Milford Sound Cruise was wonderful. It was indeed a very gratifying experience. And as the tourists in the BBQ bus was just a few, we had a lot of good time to interact with the other members of the tour as well as enjoy the scenes a bit more. It is an experience worth recommending to others.
This was an excellent trip the BBQ was perfect on the day. The driver/guide was very informative and very safe and as was prepared to stop on request for photo opportunities. The boat trip was awesome and the skipper even edged under a waterfall to allow the passengers to get the photos. It rained all day but this is one trip that it didn't matter. Highly recommended.
Absolutely worth it. Great trip. The tour guides were friendly and information. The stops along the way had beautiful views. The trip to Milford Sound is just as good as the cruise itself. The picnic barbecue in the mountains is just picture-perfect.

Wow... This tour is definitely great value for the long drive and scenery that we have seen. It was a long day as we spent more than 6 hours on the bus. However, the view was definitely worth the long journey. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the scene that we had passed by. He took us to the different spots for great photos. The BBQ lunch was delicious and we were never lack of food. If you are thinking of visiting Queenstown, this tour is a "must do" activity if you want to see the best thing in NZ.
Great experience. Highly recommend it!
Loved this trip and the day was a glorious sunny day. The scenery was fabulous and we enjoyed the cruise along Milford Sound. The best part though was the hosts, especially the driver Del, who was a bee hive of information and a great driver too and not bad at cooking the barbie either. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would recommend to everyone visiting Queenstown, especially as the group of 20 was a good size and everyone got on and off quickly. Thank you
Our Tour guide Jono was a great host, he talked to us during the drive to Milford about the History of the places as we went along and kept it interesting, we stopped along the way at places of amazing beauty to take photos and have a bit of a walk around which was nice as the drive is quite long it broke it up, I had expected to get sick of being on a bus for so many hours however that did not happen the tour is structured to keep you entertained and the drive is very beautiful. I enjoyed this day, taking the tour was the better option than driving as you could just relax. The cruise at Milford was stunning and due to the time of day that we were there it was not crowded.

Wonderful day trip. Well worth the long drive. Set up and run well wen efficient with knowledgeable guide. Not to big and not too small-just right. Would recommend as a must when visiting the area.
The drive is forever from Queenstown but its the main way to go. Its nice to just sleep or relax most of the way! Good deal with good food!
Excellent tour, well worth the time and money.
I loved this tour! The bus is fairly small and comfortable so our group was a decent size without being too big. Our guide was extremely informative. Lunch was absolutely delicious and we stopped lots of times on the way for photos and beautiful scenery. The cruise on the Sound allowed for more amazing photo opportunities and was a welcome chance to walk around a bit. My only complaint would be the length of time spent on the bus but otherwise there was nothing wrong with this tour. I would easily do it again.
