The rain- the wind- the waterfalls!!! Great commentary, and the Trips & Tramps bus driver was a great source of information, and the packed lunches were great value!
Fantastic day

I believe the van that took us was Trails and Tramps and our guide, Jeff/Geff was excellent. We had a rainy day and saw a lot of waterfalls...more than we knew existed. The lunch was good; there were only four of us on the tour, which was nice as well. A great day and I hope now I've completed my 100 characters.
Fantastic experience

It was a fantastic experience! Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. We couldn’t do the long hike due to the weather damage on the track so he took us to two shorter hikes that were fenomenal. The tour is small and it’s the perfect size to explore the region.

We had such a great day with Douglas as our guide. Wonderful indights and plenty of opportunities to take photos. He also saved the day by rescuing the phone that I dropped undee the seat

Our full-day trip was absolutely FANTASTIC! Our guide - Doug Thorne, was extremely knowledgeable, and since he grew up in this area and calls this gorgeous landscape his 'backyard', he was even able to throw in so many delightful personal stories and anecdotes while sharing some commentary. Doug took enough breaks to let us have opportunities to take photos, and was very good humored. Lunch was provided and according to our preferences vegetarian vs. non, and then the boat ride... the boat ride was magical and at some point I stopped taking pictures with my camera, and instead just tried to take it ALL IN. BEAUTIFUL.
We also stopped to do a semi-difficult hike up to Key Summit, which was one of my favorite walks/hikes we did while in the Te Anau area. My mom whose knee was somewhat hurting on our way back took a bit longer, so my brother and I and her were lagging about 20 minutes behind the rest of the gang - and so Doug and one of our other fellow-tourists came looking for us...
This experience was perfect and I highly highly recommend it for families and anyone else. If when I go back, I'll be sure to do this all over again! :

We took this amazing tour to Milford Sound. Our tour guide, Doug, was very knowledgeable and funny. I am so glad we did Milford with Trips and Tramps. We were a small group so it felt personalized and we got there before most of the other tours arrived and beat the crowds. The day was perfect.

Full day Milford Sound Hiking Tour started around 730am and retuning around 530pm to and from Te Anau.
Excellent day out even though it rained , so did not do Key Summit Track so alternative plans kicked in walking some other short tracks and visiting other interesting sites. Also stopped to see the cheeky Kea birds.
The boat trip was fantastic -on board the very large Real Journeys over night boat which was not crowded so provided excellent views of the multiple water falls together with excellent on board commentary plus free tea-coffee aboard.
Would recommend this tour to all who are interested in a more personal intimate small group tour best for those staying in Te Anau so you get to Milford Sound and cruise early so beating the big crowds and multiple bus loads from Queenstown which arrive as you leave your cruise.

This tour was excellent. The tour size is small, the tour guide incredibly knowledgeable about the area, wildlife, and history, and the tour of the Sound is just spectacular. All in all an excellent way to spend the day.
One note about the hikes/walks. The hike up to Key Summit is an amazing hike, but it is seriously uphill the entire way. You'll be on the clock as well since obviously the tour is on a schedule. I'm in reasonable shape for 56, and it was a struggle for me to get up there, enjoy the view, and get back down in time. So do take all this into consideration before signing up for that hike. It's definitely worth the climb if you're up to it!

The perfect day from start to finish. Steve , who owns the business, gave us the best day. The drive out was great starting with fog in town to sunshine as we got to the Sound. The cruise on Sinbad was just fantastic. An absolute must do. One of the best trips ever.
Then we did the Heli tour up to the glacier, 8000 feet up so quickly it was so exhilarating and then the walk on the glacier.
Every bit of the day was perfect. Thanks Steve.

The guide was excellent she knew her stuff and was keen to impart her knowledge to us. She made the 2 hour trip to Milford Sound very interesting. The weather, unfortunately, was not good for the Milford Sound trip but we went for a tremendous walk to Key Summit in the afternoon when the weather was wonderful and the scenery spectacular. Lunch was ok and afternoon tea comprised a cup of tea or instant coffee with a biscuit. The food let down the tour otherwise i would have rated it 5 stars.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
