5.0/5
We chose the morning nature tour and are glad we did as it didn't have as many people on it as the scenic cruise.
Cabin had big windows so you have a good view even if the weather turns bad, and there is plenty of deck space for an uninterrupted view. There's a guide walks around the deck pointing out seals, penguins and features of the landscape during the tour. Milford is a must-see in Fiordland and this was a great way to see it.

We chose the scenic tour in the afternoon, only 15-20 people on the boat to share such amazing scenery.
We were lucky to see penguins, seals and dolphins.

Everyone has said Milford Sound is a must see and I 100% agree!!
From the start of the Milford Road to the end of the Sound, jaw dropping cliffs with waterfalls, penguins, seals and loads of interesting commentary from the boat crew.

Accomodating enough to put us on the next boat when we missed our due to traffic.
Cruise was great even though the top deck constantly smelled of what was being cooked in the kitchen.

Very beautiful cruise during about 2 hours, very spectacular waterfalls, we saw penguins also.
But a bit expensive for this type of activity.

Very nice views.
We had bad weather so we did not see everything. So if you can choose, choose a sunny day.

Very nice staff.
The price was really good. The view was amazing. Driving as close as possible to the waterfall, so that you have good fun and get wet!

Got a nature cruise for almost 3 hrs, a cheaper price together with the Te Anau glowworm caves trip.
(±150)
Go in the early or late afternoon hours so the price is cheaper.
Staff on boats very friendly and funny, explaining everything along the way.
Went into the rainbows at the waterfalls and close to the rocks to check wildlife.

We booked an early departure nature cruise and had a wonderful trip.
Initially the trip looked like being cancelled as the roads were closed due to overnight snow but the company decided to still go ahead despite only having 7 paying passengers. This made it a much more personalised cruise compared to trips that carry bus loads of passengers. We were able to mingle with the other passengers and the friendly staff onboard. The trip is really well priced considering the high quality of the vessel and commentary provided plus the free hot soup was a bonus on a cold winters day. We saw lots of seals and had a pod of dolphins riding the bow wave as we came back into port. All in all, it was a great way to end our stay in Milford Sound.
