The most beautiful two hours. Breathtaking. The captain was knowledgeable and very entertaining! Loved the smaller boat as it wasn't crowded alms corks get closer to some of the waterfalls. Will do it again if I ever go back to NZ
Very beautiful excursion in the fjord, the crew was wonderful with the children! The landscapes are magnificent, there were beautiful waterfalls (the boat gets very close). Hot drinks available on board.
Such a fantastic tour! The smaller boat allowed our incredibly talented skipper to get right under the falls. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough!!!
The experience was great felt out of this world. As I was leaving the free car park one of my good Salomon hiking shoes must have fallen out of the van. I didn’t notice till when I got back to te anau. I contacted mitre peak cruises to see if they had the shoe in list property. They said the would contact me if they find it. Not long after the lovely lady Madeleine called me and said the had found it. With no questions asked she organised the shoe to get flow from Milford sound to Queenstown the same day as we were driving there. I picked up my shoe and it had a lovely message on it from Madeleine. She was amazing and really went above and beyond just so I got my shoe back. I would really recommend mitre peak cruises because of their professionalism and lovely staff.
Kia ora, Thank you for sharing this and for your kind words. We're so glad Madeleine was able to track down your shoe and deliver it to you in time. She really is a star, and we're lucky to have her on the team. Ngā mihi nui, Mitre Peak Cruises

Such a great boat tour of the fiords! The boat pilot was informative & got us up close to the stunning waterfalls.
Fantastic experience. Smaller boat allowed us to get closer to the waterfalls and the wildlife. Captain gave good information during the cruise. Would 100% book with them again.
Very hard to hear the tour guide deck hand was very friendly.
Kia ora, Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that the crew made you feel welcome on board. Ngā mihi nui, Mitre Peak Cruises
Mitre Peak Cruises were excellent, we did the bus/cruise/bus from TeAnau with Trips and Tramps. The bus trip was fabulous, opportunities to stop for photo's with excellent commentary from Ben plus time for a short bush walk on our return trip. The cruise around Milford Sounds was breathtaking and we were able to be at front of the boat for entire trip, we had great commentaries,with staff all friendly and helpful. The smaller boat was the perfect way to see everything.
Kia ora, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the bus and cruise. We'll ensure Ben knows his commentary and local insights made an impression. Ngā mihi nui, Mitre Peak Cruises
Well worth the 4 hour drive each way from Queenstown. Great scenery, and great experience, and crew.
