Real Journies looked after us royally from start to finish. Both vegetarians so a bit concerned about the menu on board. No worries!! There was more than enough veggie food at every meal. Staff 'n' crew cheerful, helpful skipper and nature guide absolutely superb. Have already recommended this company and this tour to my cousin who intends to do it in feb 2018. Not enough superlatives to bestow on them. And I don't normally give reviews as I'm told I'm difficult to please. Not in this case though, 10 out of 10.
A must-do cruise!! What an adventure!
Such a wonderful experience! Although trip to cruise was long, it was worth it. So glad we did the over night tour since the second day was rainy so we saw thousands of waterfalls. We also saw seals, whales and porpoises. The entire trip was handled professionally from pickup to drop off.
It was a fantastic trip. I wasn't prepared for how long the bus ride and boat were going to be to get to the sound, but it was very organized and beautiful views along the way. The nature guide and captain were super friendly and knowledgable. Even though it rained we got to see tons of waterfalls and the next morning was clear. It's expensive but worth the price.
One of many highlights during four weeks in New Zealand. Wonderful views, excellent food, comfortable cabin and amazingly enthusiastic, friendly and hardworking crew.
