Steve our driver was courteous, informative, funny and a good driver. He got us to the boat right on time with beautiful stops along the way, providing a boxed lunch upon arrival. The captain of the Adventurer was a great pilot spotting penguins, seals and dolphins for us to see. He got in close to the beautiful waterfalls for great photo opportunities.

A phenomenal tour, everything was very well organized and completely stress-free, and the driver was magnificent. That gentleman is phenomenal: he drives, organizes, and gives very clear explanations about both the places we visited and the logistics. During the trip we saw spectacular views, and the driver stopped at strategic spots. And the cruise, what can I say, an absolute must-see, truly phenomenal.

Great day on the cruise , good English commentary of the sound formation and history of discovery.
Seeing the penguin s leaving the nesting area and seals lazing in the sun in the rocks just made the day .
The drive into Milford Sound is also spectacular in scenery with Keas at several of the stops keeping tourists entertained
Would recommend to anyone interested in the great outdoors

My daughter loved exploring the Earnslaw. I was worried it would feel too busy but I found it the right amount of people. My favourite part was the highland coos

The day ran extremely smoothly and was very well organised with very little waiting time between the boat across teh lake, the bus and then the boat on Doubtful Sound. Same applied for the return trip. Doubtful Sound is beautiful and although it maybe not quite as dramatic as Milford Sound, it certainly makes up for it for being a lot more quieter, we were the only boat on the day we went. We loved the part when they turn the motors off and ask everyone to enjoy the silence. The food and drinks on board were very good and reasonably priced. Commentary was great on each of the three legs of our journey. A thoughly enjoyable day and highluy recommended for those that want to get away from the croiwds of Milford Sound.
