Incredible experience sailing around Milford Sound in the late afternoon and early morning with no other vessels around.

Absolutely amazing! Everything about the cruise was awesome, and I would highly recommend the doubtful sound overnight cruise to anyone. The only very minor improvement would just be that on the kayak section it felt a little rushed and for those who don't kayak much the pace was a little tiring without time to rest. A slower group or pace would have been helpful. Thanks though!!

The overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound was fantastic. It was wet and cloudy providing plenty of amazing waterfalls and great scenery. We're so glad we included this trip in our NZ itinerary.

The staff function much like a family, the interaction with each other was very positive. If they like their job then they will treat the client with the highest regard. That's how every one of them treated me. Truly a remarkable experience!

Food was very good, crew did a great job. Scenery is spectacular. Bus ride from Queenstown makes for a long day - I would recommend others stay in Te Anau to break up the journey.

Fantastic we had a little hiccup when we boarded the beautiful vessel but with the lovely Hugo to assist us we did just fine. Thank you to Hugo and all the extremely talented, friendly staff that were looking after us. We had the best time in the stunning environment of the Doubtful Sound.

Loved it! Staff were very friendly (and funny), there were lots of activities/entertainment and the scenery (even though it was raining) was spectacular. Great food too.

We really enjoyed having the chance to spend a little longer at Milford Sound. Unfortunately, the weather was very rainy on both days, especially when we did the walk at Sand fly Point. We were all so wet, there was no way to dry our shoes and clothes. Otherwise, loved the ship (Wanderer) and the staff was excellent. Bus ride was reasonable from Te Anau and enjoyed the short stops for walks along the way.

This was a fabulous experience. The experience and professionalism of Real Journeys meant that the whole cruise was both highly organised and hugely enjoyable. The accommodation was excellent and comfortable and the food was exceptional. The only small criticism is that the the leaders of the Kayak activity made no allowance for the differentials of experience, confidence or fitness in the group, dashing ahead and leaving individuals scattered and separated.

We were very impressed (and we don't impress easily). From the moment Che (sp?) picked us up in the coach, the welcome by the crew, their willingness to please in every aspect - good conversations - great food - all made it a memorable trip.

We loved all aspects of the Doubtful Sound cruise. It was good to be at the start of the season as the boat was only half full. The crew were excellent as was the nature guide Carol and the food was delicious. A truly memorable experience!
