Southern Discoveries - Te Anau Visitor Centre

Was a good cruise and the underwater experience was something that the kids are still talking about.Crew were helpful and polite and the information provided over the PA was informative with out being over load.But some information does need to be updated. Not sure if this is a Southen Discoveries issue or the booking agent (Viator) but on the email tickets there was mention that Covid Vaccine Certificates were required to be able to board the boat. We called Southern Discoveries, this information is out dated but still being sent out.But over all, a worth while experience and a nice drive to get to Milford Sounds as well. We were there during what is termed locally as a drought" as there had been no rain for 6 days which reduced the number of water falls but it was still worth the trip."

Loved this. We had an amazing bus driver in Ben. Most informative. Lots of stops to look at scenery

Coach driver was excellent, boat ride was just a boat ride. Lunch was fine however a long day for not much of an experience.

We did the Milford Sound Cruise and Bus trip. There's just no other trip like this in New Zealand. Absolutely breathtaking! Hats off to our bus driver, Richard. You're a great host and driver. Keep it up!

No toilet facilities, (they do have but don't let guests use them) means you have to hold it in on a bus if your going for a tour with them!!

This was a fab bus ride and cruise on Milford Sound. The bus journey itself is amazing and then the cruise on the fjord is great, seeing the majestic mountains, waterfalls and the added bonus of the underwater observatory. We enjoyed the picnic lunch in a box, which was varied and tasty. Saw seals. A superb day out.

Really friendly and helpful lady called Dani showed us lots of walking routes and things to do in the area. So glad we came here, she helped us plan the next few days of our trip - thank you!

So pleased we chose Southern Discoveries. We debated driving ourselves but instead opted to travel in the comfort of a coach enabling us to absorb every breath taking moment on the trip from Te Anau to Milford. Reece the driver entertained us with snippets of history and local knowledge.Then onto the Sounds in a catamaran which maneuvered so close to the waterfalls you were right in the spray. Loved every minute. All in all a brilliant day.

Just back from our trip today. 1st time to Milford Sound so we chose the bus and cruise, from Te Anau, to fully appreciate the magnificent views. Gabe, our bus driver, was brilliant, informative and helpful. The staff on the 1pm cruise were fantastic, second only to the spectacular Milford Sound and all its beauty. We will be back.

Lovely trip out on the water. Staff so friendly and helpful.
