Spectacular day out!!

Best tour ever. Tania was amazing, full of knowledge, with a real love for what she is doing. The bus was very comfortable with amazing views all around.
Weather did not play the game and we couldn’t fly out BUT....the bad weather was an absolute positive for the Milford Sound cruise - we saw the Sound at its best with all the waterfalls and extremes! The snow was the cherry on the top! Tania, you were right - best time to come to see the Sound. All in all, 10/10 and we thoroughly recommend the tour - especially in the wet!! Refund for the flight was immediate so no issues at all.

Amazing Day!

Andy was a fantastic tour guide so informative and enthusiastic. The drive to Milford sound was simply stunning with plenty of stops for photo opportunities. It was great being one of the few boats on the sound, the scenery breathtaking. Andy suggested a scenic plane ride on the way back rather than four or so hours by coach and we were extremely glad we took this option to see Milford sound and surroundings from another angle, not to mention time saved. Altitude tours is a New Zealand owned company, boutique with small numbers on tours so a more intimate experience. Would highly recommend!

Milford Sounds Experience

What an amazing trip,Queenstown to Milford and back, I was dragged along by my darling partner rose on this trip, rose asked me if I was excited, my reply was yea maybe, we were picked up it was pissing down, not that that worries me I love the rain and cold, well off we go, Tania what a lovely young lady, man she can talk, but it was easy to listen to she chimed in with the tour guide info then would put on some music, man that lady loves her job and region, Tania is a very safe and curtis driver,A1 if you ask me, as for the trip to Milford and back in the van absolutely spectacular , the water falls, sheer cliffs, native bush and the live blood of the area the rivers and lakes, the boat cruise was so unreal with the untouched slice of paradise, you south islanders sure are a friendly bunch we will surely spread the word, once again many thanks, Rose and Don.
