Southern Discoveries are the only cruise operators to offer the underwater observatory at the end of the cruise. We were fortunate to be there in May, so there were very few other tourists, making it a bit more special. As part of the cruise they also provide a packed lunch, and they have a VEGAN option. Vege wrap, vegan cookies and fruit. The staff were friendly and a good laugh. The weather was terrible, but made for moody photos and there were more waterfalls due to the rain. We highly recommend Southern Discoveries.…

As soon as we went into the Southern Discoveries office in Te Anau we were greeted with friendly staff who made us feel very special. The coach arrived and As soon as we meet Greg, we knew we were in for an awesome day. The coach is clean and comfortable with a glass viewing roof - Greg was entertaining and informative and really looked after everyone. His driving was impeccable and he gave clear instructions on the boat trip, toilets and departure times. The boat ride was breathtaking - my Dad is 85 and it will be a day we will treasure for ever - it’s hard to put into words the feeling of being on the Milford Sound. It is something everyone should experience and with Southern Discoveries operating a service that i cannot fault. Thank you Greg and the team for a beautiful day that will stay in our hearts for ever. Julie & Robbie…

Having been to Milford before, I persuaded our group of 8 to coach it ,enabling a better viewing experience, but really wasn't expecting Gregory. By the time we arrived in Milford, I felt we had already got our money's worth. Greg's knowledge and sense of humor had us realizing we were experiencing something more than a tour. FANTASTIC. Would do it again just for the laughs All the best Greg…

Review of: Milford Sound Nature Cruise
We booked with Southern Glacier Helicopters - which are Southern Discoveries heli partners. They flew us in and out of Milford Sound. We joined Southern Discoveries for the cruise. You can tell Southern Discoveries is one of the most experienced tour operators in this area. The entire trip was 5 stars. The boat was well kept. There was ample space both inside and outside such that the experience wasnt crowded. We had near perfect conditions on the day we went. Milford Sound is just spectacular and you cant really get enough of it. The cruise takes you right out to the Tasman, stopping and Sterling falls on your way back in. The commentary was informative. Overall a wonderful day spent in Milford Sound. …
