Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review 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.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I had an amazing experience with Fiordland Tours!
This is a well run company with awesome staff. Special shout out to Ray communicating key information and we absolutely LOVED our tour guide Sacha! She was extremely knowledgable, friendly and slipped in some great humor along the ride.
The Milford Sound tour was amazing from start to finish. We were lucky and got a rainy day which allowed us to see hundreds of waterfalls, which is truly breathtaking! They also provide scones at morning tea along with an optional paid lunch (would recommend given long day). Anyone choosing this company will definitely be pleased with their decision :)

The Milford Sound Tour was excellent! Our tour guide, John, brought the Fiordlands National Park to life for us with a mixture of storytelling, history and ecology. Will definitely recommend this tour to other visitors.

Great tour, Johnathan was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Small group, bus was comfy and motel pickup is very handy. We had a spectacular day.

We had an amazing day with Sacha., our tour guide. She was very friendly, informative, told us about the history of Te Anau & The Milford Sound. We had many stops along the way so were able to take some awesome photos. Date scones & tea or coffee were provided for morning tea then a 2 hour cruise when we arrived in The Milford Sound. We also had more photo opportunities on our trip back to Te Anau. I definitely recommend this tour.

Great day trip, easy and well organised. Saw lots of things at a relaxed pace. Our guide shared great information about local flora, fauna and geography. The cruise was beautiful. Definitely glad we took the trip from Te Anau over Queenstown.

A fabulous day with small tour bus and a great guide! (Tania ;-) )
The stops, the scenery, the knowledge, friendliness, the boat trip and, of course, the food - brilliant!
Highly recommended.

Fantastic trip from Te Anau to Milford Sound. We could not asked for a more comprehensive and enjoyable experience. Our driver/guide, Carlyn, kept us informed, entertained and amused.
This has got to be the best way to see Milford Sound and all its wonders.

We had the most amazing day from Te Anau to Milford Sound and back because of our brilliant guide Karlin! He made our day such a fun, memorable and wonderful experience. There were loads of spectacular stops along the way to Milford sound and a beautiful walk. Would definitely recommend this tour company!
Make sure you ask for Karlin!

Hi there.
Patricia W mentions an overnight cruise.
I cannot find an overnight cruise on their website. Can you advise please?

We operate day tours which depart at 7:45 am and return at 6:00 pm. The over night doesn't actually cruise for any longer/distance thsn our day tour does

Hello, I emailed via the website but have not heard back. Is it possible to join this tour from Queenstown? Meaning can pick up be arranged from this location?

My understanding is no as their buses depart solely from Te Anau. Leaving from Queenstown adds four hours round trip to the drive, making for a very long day.

I heard that the live Opry show is also broadcast as a Radio show and that there are commercials in between the artists performances. Is this true for every show?

Hi. We are arriving on the Diamond Princess to Fjordland Park at 7 am and leaving 4pm. Is there a tour for 4 people that we can take?
fiordlandtours
Te Anau, New Zealand5 contributions
Unfortunately the Diamond Princess does stay at Milford Sound.
It will do passenger transfers for those that are doing the two day tour to Port Chalmers and then will cruise away after an hour.
I suggest you come back to NZ and do a land base holiday and do the Fiordland Experience with us
Cheers Ray

Unfortunately the Diamond Princess does not stay in Milford Sound for long enough to do a tour
(about an hour)
The itinerary is very misleading
Stick with the cruise and come back via land one day and do our tour
