Incredible Milford Sound experience

We had such a wonderful day out! Steve was a walking encyclopaedia, sharing his incredible knowledge and passion for the outdoors and the local environment. His enthusiasm was infectious and made the whole experience so enjoyable and fun. The lunch was delicious, and the cruise was absolutely incredible. A fantastic experience from start to finish — highly recommended!

100% Recommend!

I would 100% recommend the Milford Sound tour with Cheeky Kiwi. The group size was only small along with the number of people on the cruise, which was great! Our tour guide Colin was friendly and very knowledgeable. The packed lunch was like a feast! Overall, very impressed and would book with them again!

Snow, scenery, waterfalls and animals

This was a fantastic day all round. Paul our guide was happy, on time, professional and knowledgeable. He was also very accomodating as our last name is Eglinton and he was more than happy to stop by the signs so we could get photos with our namesake valley. The van was clean and very comfortable and our lunch was enjoyable with some unexpected snacks on the way home. We saw plenty of kea, and on our cruise we saw penguins and seals. We had a perfect sunny day after an overnight snowfall and rain, so it was picturesque and all dusted with white. A spectacular day.
