A must-see! On the ride to Milford Sound, there are beautiful views of snow capped mountains, reflecting lakes of the mountains, waterfalls and streams, and countryside views of fields and fields of sheep. The Milford Sound cruise is a must. You're surrounded by breathtaking green and rocky snow capped mountains, you'll see waterfalls and seals, and you're taken all the way to the Tasman Sea. The tour van driver was Andy and he was the best. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. On the way back, when we learned of a car accident blocking one of the 2 entrances to Queenstown, Andy handled it like a pro and made sure all of us had what we needed for the extra 3 hours of the detour. I had a great time and it was the best experience of my entire 14-day trip to New Zealand and Australia.
