Spektakulär

Würde das nächste Mal ohne Lounge buchen. Obwohl das Essen überraschend gut war.

Schöne Busfahrt, überbewertete Bootsfahrt

Unsere Fahrerin Liz war super! Sie wusste viel zu erzählen und wir hielten während der Fahrt an zahlreichen schönen Orten, wie z. B. Wasserfällen, einer alten Brücke oder einem Aussichtspunkt über's Tal. Die Busfahrt war daher sehr schön und würde mehr Bewertungs-Sterne bekommem. Die Bootsfahrt selbst war dann allerdings eher enttäuschend. Zum Lunch gab es hauptsächlich asiatisch anmutendes Essen, das zum größten Teil schon kalt war, als wir, nachdem eine große Reisegruppe fertig war, auch zum Buffet durften. Dadurch verpassten wir dann allerdings auch den Anfang der Tour, da wir noch mit Essen beschäftigt waren. Zudem ist die Landschaft, wenn man schon andere Fjorde gesehen hat, zwar schön, aber bei einem Wetter irgendwo zwischen Sonnenschein und Regen, nicht das Beeindruckendste, was man in NZ machen kann.

Hi Nordlicht Thank you for your review. We are very happy you enjoyed your trip into Milford Sound with our VIP tour. We are very sorry though that you did not enjoy Milford Sound itself, unfortunately, we are unable to do anything about the weather. As it is an extremely busy time of the year it was very unfortunate that you were behind a large group at the buffet and found the lunch underwhelming. We do apologize for the time taken to get your food. Kind regards VIP Milford Team :)

Nicht verpassen, ein Must do

Mit Milford VIP jederzeit wieder. Der frühe Start lohnt, da wir den Fjord und alle Stoppunkte quasi für uns alleine hatten:-).

Thank you Stefan for taking the time to leave your review. The early start is indeed worth it, to get to the stops early and have the place to yourself and let the scenery be uninterrupted. We are happy to have enjoyed your day with us. Kind regards VIP Milford Team :)

Sehr gut

Es war eine sehr schöne Erfahrung die Tour gemacht zu haben. Man hält an sehr schönen Plätzen an, um Bilder zu machen. Danach im Boot wird man sofort verköstigt und kann anschließend die Natur genießen. Leider kann man während denn essen die Natur nicht so genießen.

Hi Johann Thank you for your review. One of the reasons the meal is so early in the cruise, is so that you have plenty of time to take in the fabulous scenery around you. We are very pleased that you had such a great day. Kind regards VIP Milford Team :)
