Unforgettable Milford Sound: Award-Winning Small Group Tour

A 13-hour long day trip sounded a bit daunting, but from pick up early in the morning, until drop off that night, James kept our small group entertained, stopping enroute for short breaks... usually with breath-taking views included, he was engaging and knowledgeable. The smaller vessel we boarded at Milford Sound meant a close encounter with wildlife and waterfall. A picnic style lunch was provided, and it was excellent. The weather was wet and windy, but this just added to the atmosphere of this truly remarkable wild place. I highly recommend this tour.

My experience with Altitude was really positive, not least because they saved me when another tour company that I had booked with let me down at last minute. So I was almost about to not go on a bucket list trip after being stranded, but Altitude, and specially Nev, saved the day. I’m so pleased that I ended up going with Altitude because it really felt like a superior experience. Thanks especially goes to Nev for being such a friendly, relaxed and approachable tour leader. The journey there and back is a long one, but he helped make it a really enjoyable trip. The boat trip itself is phenomenal and a must see experience. But I also enjoyed the little stop offs we did with Nev as we went deeper into the Fjordlands. Words can’t express how majestic they are, just go see for yourself!

Glorious scenery, luxurious bus, plenty of information, and the cruise was lovely. Carol did an amazing job as our guide, and it was her first solo trek too! The music was fabulous, and we sang most of the way back to Queenstown with our fellow passengers! Carol learned we loved Lord of the Rings, and she played some of the soundtrack for us as we entered into the valley of the Fiordlands National Park on our way to the cruise . It was majestic! We even saw a kea, dolphins, and seals! What a joy!

Awesome experience that exceeded expectations. Considered driving ourselves, but so glad we opted for the tour. The unmatched beauty of the region is a once in a lifetime experience. (Or more if you're lucky!) But what really made the day remarkable was our stellar guide Nev. Kind, knowledgeable, and with a great sense of humor, Nev made the day unforgettable. Thanks, Nev! And thanks, Altitude!

Chelsea was a great guide. She gave us so much insight into the flora, the history, and the landscapes. She is also an amazing driver! I came on this tour hungover from my wine tour the day before, and I never felt sick even when we were driving thru the windy roads. Ride was super comfy and was able to squeeze in some naps in between enjoying the incredible views throughout the way. I really enjoyed being in a small group as the cruise had enough space for everyone to enjoy without feeling crowded. Weather was perfect and many in the group had the opportunity to fly back to Queenstown.

Had a great day out with altitude tours, we were very fortunate to have Stewart as our guide. He told us all about the mountains and facts about NZ which was very fascinating. Would highly recommend to anyone

Stuart our guide was amazing, coach had great visibility and was the smaller group was perfect, highly recommend! they went above and beyond!

Great trip to Milford Sound . The Dutch group leader,Stuart, was excellent, full of stories and kiwi information. He created a great camaraderie among the group and was fun. Milford Sound was magical. The national park and rainforests on the drive were spectacular. Good day out.

Was a wonderful day. The tour guide was great; he looked after us as well as being very knowledgably and welcoming. Would recommend it to anyone.

Awesome experience. Comfortable coach, very knowledgeable guides and fantastic boat trip on Milford Sound. Spectacular scenery all the way. Definitely recommend.
