The views are stunning, Mitre Cruises are very professional, caring and reasonably priced, making for an unforgettable experience. Don’t miss this cruise if you ever visit New Zealand, and do it on a RAINY day, when all the waterfalls come to life and are truly spectacular!

Great commentary, we really appreciated that the guide told us about Māori history in the area and pronounced Te Reo correctly. We were also glad that the boat was smaller than a lot of the other cruise companies as it was less crowded. I loved that the upper deck is partly enclosed which gives better shelter from the wind so I could comfortably stay outside the whole time even in 1°C temps. If you're into nature you'll love going all the way to the edge of the Tasman Sea (which the other companies don't do) as we saw two species of albatross.

Fantastic cruise, great boat, great crew very relaxing, great commentary and the boat was not overcrowded . Best weather as well

We did the combination of the hike and boat tour and recommend it if you are up for a 3 hour hike. The hike is spectacular and is the last 5.5 km of the very famous Milford Track. You return the same way, so a 11 km total hike. This combo gets you a boat transfer from the Milford SOUnd terminal to the beginning of the hike and it is a guided hike with great information along the way. On returning, you get a boat transfer back to the Mlford Sound terminal and a boarding pass for the two hour cruise of Milford Sound. We had a perfect day for the hike and boat tour, so weather can be afactor in whether the hike would be worth it.

Our most favourite excrusion to date ❤️ loved the flights, our pilot Muddy was very professional, personable, he was reassuring and made sure everyone onboard we're comfortable and enjoyed the experience. He made us feel safe in his capable hands. The view from up above was STUNNING, the flight paths were breaktaking, this was the highlight of my trip. Once we landed it was a quick easy bus ride to the dock to board the boat for the cruise through Milford sounds. Absolute majestic beauty, we enjoyed the cruise and the commentary onboard was awesome, the hot drinks were a welcome treat to keep you warm. Sit back and marvel at natures beauty, loved the cruise we had perfect weather conditions that made it feel magical. Highly reccomend flying there as the beauty from up above is phenomenal ❤️

Our tour was coach, cruise, fly with Mitre. However, Altitude tours was the primary player in making this a great experience. Moreover, SIMCHAN our Tourguide and driver made all the difference in the tour from ensuring that we became a team who introduced ourselves with each background and what we wanted to learn about Milford Sound and New Zealand. He has a plethora of knowledge of all aspects of the country and areas we visited. His care of each individual receiving above and beyond the expectation was flawless. SIMCHAN is an outstanding asset to Altitude Tours and Mitre Peak Cruises. We would take advantage of this experience over and over if we could, don't miss it!

We took the coach, cruise and fly tour to Milford Sound. Unfortunately due to the weather, the flying segment on the way back had to be canceled. The organizers arranged for us to return back via coach and also promptly refunded our flight portion of the ticket. James was our tour guide. He was amazing- very knowledgeable and helpful. Gave us interesting commentary all the way. Pick up, drop off and everything was perfectly on schedule. Communication from the Mitre office leading upto the pick up day was excellent, clear and frequent. The only feedback, if any, would be that the Mercedes coach that we rode was filled to capacity (15 people), the leg room on the seats is a bit tight for a 4 hour journey. But overall, very positive experience. Strongly recommended. Milford sound is must see..it is literally a paradise. The 4 hour journey both ways is a very scenic route with plenty of photo stops along the way.

Your staff at check in were outstanding. We missed our scheduled boat and they were extremely helpful in getting us on the next available one.

Amazing day! Fantsstaix scenery and very well organised. We were lucky with the weather which really helped! The flight back to Queenstown was unforgettable! Would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend this tour which was done in a comfortable minivan rather than a full coach. This meant we were more comfortable, had better access to sites and a faster trip. Our guide James was very knowledgeable, funny, courteous and a great driver.

Friendly and very informative staff and team. Check in, information and experiences were all easy and very positive. Thanks to Callum, skipper and his team.

The cruise was just perfect. The crew took us through Milford Sound in great detail, with filled 2 hours. In addition to spectacular views of inlet of the sea, we also enjoyed fantastic waterfalls and observed some sea animals.

It's a must do when in Milford Sound. The crew was first class in every way, with interesting narration, along with pointing out sea life throughout the cruise.

Out of the available operators, we appreciated Mitre having a relatively smaller group, though the boat did get crowded when all passengers flocked to the same area. The boat was basic, but solid and clean. Although staff and service was at a good standard, you could barely hear the commentary during the trip. Basic tea and coffee included. Overall however, considering the vistas of the Fiordland, probably 70-80% of the experience is the drive there and the view from the port, and 20-30% is the cruise itself. Milford Sound is surely worth a visit, but take a cruise only if you’re not on a budget. Note: Regardless of the tour, expect (and prepare for) hordes of angry sandflies at the approach and the dock, but not during the cruise itself.

Cruise experience was great. The guide was very thorough in explaining all the important facts of the trip including points of interest. Also took us below a breathtaking waterfall and gave us a close up experience with sea lions and a penguin.
