    Amazing tour and guide! There are a lot of fantastic scenic views. It's definitely worth it!

    Great meeting point for the bus if you're in Queenstown downtown as well

    Had an amazing time on this tour with my girlfriend. The views were spectacular at Milford Sound as expected, but what really stood out was our brilliant guide, Jono. He was very warm, accommodating, and knowledgeable about a variety of topics such as fauna and wildlife. He made our trip go from good to great, and it’s definitely a day trip well worth experiencing.

    Our guide/driver was friendly and considerate. We stopped at various locations and had enough time to see the gorgeous views and take photos. We were not rushed at all. Milford Sound was simply breathtaking. We saw some seals. The flight back to Queenstown was exceptional.

    I rode the shotover jet along with my husband and 8 year old son. The instructions on where to go and what to bring or wear were crystal clear. The area was lovely with amazing view of the river and the shotover jet zooming through. The whole experience was top notch, from arrival until the end. This is a must do for families, couples, group of friends when they visit Queenstown. So exhilarating! Worth the money. You definitely get wet so be prepared.

    Perfect experience from beginning to end. Our pilot, Hamish, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Even took a couple of fantastic pictures of our family in front of the plane. The views from the airplane were simply surreal. One of our best experiences of all time. And then the boat trip was equally gorgeous. Every person we interacted with was professional, friendly, and outgoing. I cannot recommend this trip more highly. We were initially disappointed we did not get to spend the night on a boat in the Sound. In hindsight, we are so happy that we did this trip instead because it avoided eight hours round-trip of driving on a curvy road. Just perfect.

    Full trip was outstanding. The Glenorchy team was professional and fun, on time, good communication, made it easy. Our pilot Ben did a great job as pilot and tour guide. We were fortunate to have perfect weather and visibility, one of the most amazing tours of natural features we’ve ever been on! Highly recommend flying in if possible, phenomenal views.

    This was such a fun way to see a bit of the area! Amy was the best! Knowledgeable with lots of personality. Much information about the movie, movie making, the stars, behind the scenes and on and on. Not sure how she has that much room. In her brain for all the info! 🤣. Even included some info we are not allowed to tell you. 😜. It was a fun afternoon and we highly recommend it! 👍👍

    Beautiful day on Lake Wakatipu. The buffet lunch was delicious. Watching the dogs work the sheep was interesting. Made for a lovely day.

    Our skipper Troy was a very friendly and knowledgable guide and made the trip most enjoyable with his commentary. There are drinks and snacks available on board and lovely views, he will even take your photo with a scenic backdrop and give you the chance to drive the boat, would recommend to anyone.

    This was our first time zip lining and we had fun. The crew was very professional and triple checked our harnesses each stop. We did 4 zip lines with the last being the longest. Our guides gave us challenges each zip line if we wanted to do them - like upside down, backwards, letting go etc. My wife did all of them I did backwards and letting go! The hardest part was the walk back up to the top after the last line - a solid 15 minutes up a steep hill. They have 2 more lines for the more experienced or adventurous. Now that we have done our first we are ready to do more.

    The scenery from the bus was spectacular - in some places you could see so far that it is hard to put into words the landscape. Greg our driver kept us entertained and was a dependable driver. The views of the fjords from the boat are spectacular and although we had less waterfalls than normal because the weather was warm and clear there were plenty. We did see seals but no dolphins. On the way to Milford Sound we stopped about 2 hours in for snacks and a bathroom break. We also stopped at Mirror Lakes - very cool. Many mountains has snow on them and so many lakes and rivers so beautiful. This a long day 7 plus hours in the bus especially if you are at the first pickup and last drop off. We got back to our hotel at 7:30 PM. We left our hotel at 6:45 AM to walk down the hill to the pickup point. Bring snacks if you are not sighing up for lunch on the boat. We wanted to fly back but all the services were booked best to do that up front - will save 3 hours coming back on the bus plus it is supposed to be awesome.

    A great day out in a beautiful river near Queenstown. Felt super safe along the way, and had lots of fun thanks to Dani s spirit and great guiding, and thanks to the cool group in the raft. Would highly recommend it!!
