We booked this through one of the tourist information centres in Queenstown. They said we'd be picked up at our hotel (and this was printed on our receipt), just outside Queenstown at 6:45. About 15 minutes later, it hadn't arrived, and we had to call them up to find out what was going on. They then said they could pick... More

Thanks for your review, we really appreciate the feedback. We work very hard to provide an enjoyable experience and the vast majority of feedback is extremely positive. I am sorry and disappointed your Milford experience did not meet expectations. You have raised several points which I am investigating as what you have described is not what we would expect from...

We had a spare sightseeing day in Queenstown so we opted for the 'must-do' Milford Sound tour. Kiwi Discovery was very easy to book (online) and was good price-wise too. We had a perfect weather day, which made the trip a lot better but, as with all the tours, it is a very very long day (unless you choose to... More

I would recommend Kiwi if you wish to go see Milford Sound. They were on time to pick us up. They had a very clean and modern coach. They also had wifi on the coach until it got into the wilderness, and I saw that as a bonus with my tablet. They stopped sufficently along the way. Now Milford Sound... More

Kiwi Discovery is a small company. I also work for a small family-owned company that prides itself on personal service, going above and beyond. I was pleased to discover that Kiwi Discovery abides by similar principles. From picking passengers up at their hotels/hostels (and even at the end of hiking trails) to stopping at prime locations for photo ops, and... More

We booked on line for two couples.We were last to be picked up and we all ended up sitting in seperate seats and this we didn't like as this was a long trip. Also the video on line shows windows on the roof of the bus but this type of bus was not provided.Bus driver was very good. More

Thanks for your comments and sorry you were disappointed in our Milford trip. Normally the driver will ask single travellers to move seats to allow couples and friends to sit together, not sure why this didn't happen so please accept my apologies. I'm disappointed also to hear that the other travellers on the bus didn't offer their seat either as... More

The kiwi discovery team was great. It's a long bus ride from Queenstown but our guide/driver made several scenic stops along the way. It was raining at Milford the day we went but still definitely worth it to see all the waterfalls flowing like mad. More

Exceptional day - driver was very knowledgable and gave a super, non-intrusive running commentary throughout the drive, the boat trip on Milford Sound was one of the most spectacular experiences we had in New Zealand and felt very comfortable throughout what could have been a very long day. Great photo opportunities. So easy to arrange. Dying to do it again... More

We took this tour the other day and were very impressed with the tour company and especially our driver, Kevin. He took the time to ensure everyone had been picked up and what to expect over the next few hours. Four hours to Milford Sound was broken up by several stops along the way for pictures, etc. Most of these... More

My partner and I happened to cruise Milford Sound on a beautiful sunny day with perfect blue skies. The waterfalls were not raging, but the experience of standing in the open air cruising the Sound with views to the highest peaks and out across the ocean more than made up for this. The bus cruise to the Sound was also... More
