Pure Milford offered an incredible experience during my visit to Milford Sound. Pickup from/drop off at my hotel was very convenient (and I appreciated the slightly later start time, compared to other operators). Brendan was an amazing guide, and broke up the long ride with commentary and jokes. He also worked hard to keep us to schedule, so that we were able to enjoy several bonus photo stops. The cruise was, of course, the major highlight, and the opportunity to explore Milford Sound was one of the best experiences I've had. The included lunch was delicious and generous, and I appreciated that they offered multiple options to cater for different dietary requirements. The cruise operator kept us all laughing, particularly at his Aussie jokes, and also shared interesting commentary that really enhanced the experience. The movie on the ride back was a nice touch and much appreciated to break-up the long trip to Queenstown. This was absolutely one of the highlights of my trip, and I would recommend Pure Milford to anyone looking to experience Milford Sound.

Really great tour option to save driving yourself to Milford Sound! We had cloudy and rainy weather on the day but Milford was still gorgeous with endless waterfalls and great commentary on board the boat. The lunch provided was a hot pie, chips (crisps), apple, muesli bar and ANZAC biscuits along with complimentary coffee/tea/hot chocolate. Couldn't have asked for better! Basic commentary was provided on the coach bus, seats were comfortable! Only downside to the whole trip was the massive lack of heating on the coach - both ways! I found myself cold, particularly on the return trip after enjoying a waterfall too much, and noticed both ways that other passengers also appeared cold; using scarfs to wrap around themselves and sitting in bulky outdoor jackets/putting jackets back on they had taken off. I purchased a merino neck warmer at the Te Anau stop as I was so cold.

I left from Beach St, Queenstown. This was a fantastic tour to Milford Sound. On the coach ride, the driver and guide Luke was fantastic (knowledge and safe). The trip to the sound was only shadowed in beauty by the ferry ride through t the fjord to the Tasman Sea and back. The scenery was majestic and breathtaking on the entire tour from Queenstown.

I had a great day! The driver/tour guide was very nice and told us all about the landscapes and everything else. The drives were so beautiful and the planned stops had beautiful views. The boat tour on the milford sound was soo amazing, we saw dolphins, a penguin and some seals!

It was an overall great experience, the views are incredible and the driver was crackup with the commentary, only thing making this a 4 Star is the drive on the bus back was like being in the pits of hell due to being so draining and just wanting it to be over lmao If I was to recommend one thing it would be to -Bus there and do the boat ride, but then instead of bussing back it would be the best option to fly back unless you can handle the bus ride back Also another thing to NOTE the buses have toilets but they have locked them due to people not following rules so if you got a short platter then RIP ma bro

Outstanding trip! Even the bus ride with Shallindra was fantastic. He was very friendly, informative, safe and a great sense of humor! Boat crew was great as well and the photos you’ve seen do not do the actual experience of being there justice

Amazing experience with Pure Milford! We did the couch-boat-couch experience and I would recommend it! We’ve been lucky enough to see some pingouins as well as some seals. We were a bit nervous about the length of the trip in the couch, but it went super fast thanks to our driver who gave us great informations during the drive. Thank you again for those memories!

We made a last minute trip to Queenstown and I didn’t think we’d be able to squeeze Milford Sound in, but with this tour we were able to. Collection was easy, the onboard commentary on the way was very informative and well delivered. Our driver kept his cool with late passengers and rude road work crews. The drive was as good as the cruise, although Milford sound was breathtaking. The drive home was loooooonnnggg. Food on the cruise was good, free coffee was a bonus. All the staff really helpful and informative. I was disappointed to see the same trip being offered for less than we paid! Too bad so sad.

Our guides were very friendly & knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. Views were amazing as per. Highly recommend!

The whole experience of our Milford Sound Day tour was amazing. Our tour guide, Soap went above and beyond making sure everyone gets all the good photos. He also knows secret locations where you’ll get beautiful pics. All round professional and funny at the same time. Top experience!

My adult daughter and I went with Robin today to Milford Sounds on the coach. And she was the most incredible driver. Safe, knowledgeable, and very interesting. Didn't even realise we had been on the bus for over 5 and a half hrs with stops. Fully recommend Pure Milford. Cruise was absolutely awesome 👏 well done Robin you were amazing !!

It is a long day from Queenston, but the coach and driver were excellent. Stan is a very entertaining and knowledgeable guy.Stops break up the trip. We had a picture perfect day on Milford Sound, without as many waterfalls as others have seen because it has not rained a lot lately. But also saw dolphins, a seal, and yellow necked penguin. Well worth it. I could have driven to Milford Sound on my own but it would have taken me just as long, and this way I got to sit back and enjoy, or sleep!

On the catamaran we were able to get sprayed by a waterfall taller than Niagra Falls and see dolphins, furseals, and penguins ! Not everyone sees the penguins so we were lucky. Really enjoyed that I didn’t have to worry about bringing a meal(s) unlike some of the other tour groups. With Milford Sound Coach and Crusie we had a half hour stop in the morning to grab a small breakfast from a cafe and a lunch meal ticket (vegan and gluten free option available) was provided for us on the cruise. No hassle!! Everyone encouraged us to visit Milford Sound while visiting the South Island (they were correct) and I cant recommend this tour enough. Cam, our driver, was incredibly friendly and personable. Commentary from our driver was excellent: we learned geology and history facts about the area. We stopped at many areas in the park and were able to take photos, enjoy scenery, etc. This coach (unlike Great Sights, etc) has rooftop windows which is a GAME CHANGER for a couple reasons. 1) as you are in Fiordland National Park there will be times it’s only possible to see the mountains by looking UP- not out. 2) on the drive back to Queenstown you can see the stars if it’s a clear night ! My friend and I stargazed for an hour from our seats on the bus. Coming from a city in the States, Im not sure I had ever seen so many!

Amazing day out, yes like other reviews mention it is a long day looking at a 5 hour bus ride twisting turning there and back, longer on the way with extra scenic stops however the views are so amazing you don’t really feel it! Leaving before sunrise and returning after sunset! Brian our bus driver was amazing had a wealth of knowledge to keep us interested on everything around us along the way. The only thing to mention might be that the places they pick up from are limited so we had to uber ourselves there and back. Would be great if they add more pickup options.

The operator Pure Milford was good and on time. No complaint about it. ... The Bus was full and we enjoy it. Star early in the morning.
